Configuring fonts: no bold

I am trying to disable all bold fonts, because I think they reduce legibility especially in some unicode characters.

I made an /etc/fonts/conf.avail/21-nomorebold.conf listed below, correctly symlinked to ../conf.d/, but it doesn't do anything. I launched a new Xorg and opened archlinux.org in opera to test. No errors were reported either.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <match target="font">
<test name="weight" compare="more">
    <const>medium</const>
</test>
<edit name="weight" mode="assign">
    <const>medium</const>
</edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>

The <test> bit I got from the wiki
And the <edit> bit doesn't seem to have a problem.

I also added the <match> and everything in it to ~/.fonts.conf but it didn't help either.

Does anyone know how to get this to work?
