How do you log on or start X? I use the graphical log-in screen of kdm.
I don't use ~/.Xresources at all (nor ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession) and my
Xft options get set to exactly what I would expect from the contents of
my ~/.fonts.conf:

$ xrdb -query | grep Xft
Xft.antialias:  1
Xft.hinting:    1
Xft.hintstyle:  hintfull

Do you have any references to Xft in files in /etc/X11/Xresources or
/etc/X11/Xsession.d?
