Details

I have explicitly enabled bytecode AA by linking this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- debian/autohint.conf -->
<fontconfig>
<!-- Don't use the Autohinter -->
<match target="font">
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

to /etc/fonts/conf.d/5-hinting.conf, as indicated on the Gentoo wiki. However, bytecode AA is still not used, much to my annoyance. It looks as though the new version of fontconfig is not compiled with bytecode AA enabled.
This task depends upon

Update: I thought that perhaps I had missed something, and it turned out that I had missed the autohinter being turned on in /etc/fonts/local.conf. However, turning it off there did not enable the BCI, so it would seem that the BCI is not enabled at compile time.
