hintstyle specified in fontconfig is ignored while rgba is respected sometimes

Description
cairo behaves inconsistently on hintstyle and rgba settings. If specified in fonts.conf something like this:
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign" >``<const>
rgb</const>``<edit>
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign" >``<const>
hintfull</const>``</edit>
cairo would respond to rgba but not to hintstyle; hintstyle can only be set via gtk( through gnome-settings-daemon).
Although i don't know how to code, but after looking at the code (several times), i commented this out in cairo-ft-font.c (in function _cairo_ft_options_merge):
if (options->base.hint_style == CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_DEFAULT)
and everything goes fine. Is this the right solution?
