Possibly?  Though AFAICT on my setups, font hinting in Emacs varies just
by enabling --with-cairo; I am fairly sure my "global display
configuration" remained unchanged while testing this (if by global you
mean "system-wide", or "independent of Emacs's configuration").

So naively, if I didn't explicitly change this global configuration, I
would expect any difference in display in Emacs to be Emacs's
responsibility…

Of course, I may be missing something.
