I have a strange behaviour with the font hitting. When I start my computer, the font hiting style is set to Full. Then, if I logout/login, font hiting style is set to Slight (and this is what I want).

How can I do to keep the hiting style to Slight by default? That's boring to logout/login each time I boot...

I've already try things like lxappearance, fonts.conf, Xft...

Seems resolved by putting those lines into ~/.Xresources:

Xft.dpi:        96
Xft.antialias:  true
Xft.hinting:    true
Xft.rgba:       rgb
Xft.hintstyle:  hintslight
