On emacs 25.1.1 and emacs 24.5.1 (lucid, from debian unstable) all font
rendering settings (hinting/antialias/autohint/etc) seems to correctly
come from fontconfig, with the exception of the "rgba" setting (subpixel
hinting), which just defaults to disabled.

The Xft.rgba X resource *does* have effect though.

Emacs should honor the fontconfig's rgba setting correctly, with
priority over Xft.* resources, as done for the other settings.

To test, remove any X resource (xrdb -remove), and install the following
fontconfig snippet somewhere in ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fontconfig>
  <match target="font">
    <edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
      <bool>true</bool>
    </edit>
    <edit name="rgba" mode="assign">
      <const>rgb</const>
    </edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>

Run emacs, and notice how subpixel hinting is not enabled.
Run with FC_DEBUG=5 set in the env for confirmation that the rgba=rgb is
in effect.

Then run emacs -xrm 'Xft.rgba:rgb' and notice the difference (color
fringing should be visible).

fontconfig on my system didn't seem to want to look in that directory,
so I put it in

/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/09-foo.conf

> Run emacs, and notice how subpixel hinting is not enabled.
> Run with FC_DEBUG=5 set in the env for confirmation that the rgba=rgb is

And it was loaded:

Add Rule(kind:1, name: /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/09-foo.conf) [edit]
        Edit hinting Assign true;
        Edit rgba Assign rgb;

I'm able to reproduce this bug in Emacs 27 -- I should probably get
colour fringing with this setting, but I'm not.
