That is strange because hinting is already turned off on SuSE if fonts
are artificially emboldened, see /etc/fonts/conf.d/90-synthetic.conf.
This change was introduced by Zhe Su for SuSE to fix
bug #158573, see bugzilla-158573-turn-off-hinting-when-embolden.patch
in the fontconfig package.
So it is not surprising that turning off hinting doesn’t change
anything anymore fore artificially emboldened fonts on SuSE.
It is surprising though that it fixes the problem on Ubuntu
because if switching off the hinting helps, the problem
wouldn’t have occured on SuSE at all.
