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.
