How to correctly set fonts rendering in ArchLinux/LXDE?

Question

I've just installed ArchLinux and LXDE, everything is working fine but fonts rendering is not optimal. Reading the wiki about font configuration and using external source of information, I've build the following /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <match target="font">
     <edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
       <const>rgb</const>
     </edit>
     <edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
       <bool>true</bool>
     </edit>
     <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
       <const>hintfull</const>
     </edit>
     <edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
       <bool>true</bool>
     </edit>
     <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
       <const>lcddefault</const>
     </edit> 
  </match>
</fontconfig>

Despite this, the font rendering is still not optimal

What am I missing?

Solution

I've found the solution: The index of X font files was not created.

I discover this looking at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log log file.

$ grep /fonts /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old

[    13.492] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/" does not exist.
[    13.493] (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/".
[    13.493]    (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/").
[    13.493] (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/".
[    13.494]    (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/").
    /usr/share/fonts/misc/,
    /usr/share/fonts/TTF/,
    /usr/share/fonts/OTF/

I then run mkfontdir on /usr/share/fonts/75dpi and /usr/share/fonts/100dpi and that was solved.

In my case I needed to restart Xorg also. Thanks!
