gtk apps and fonts under awesome look different then under gnome

The problem, under gnome all gtk apps fonts look fine, they have the subpixel rendering set and look good, but under awesome wm all goes to hell. I have read all the arch wikis and tried everything possible. Does anyone else have a hint as to wtf I need to do to get awesome to load some subpixel rendering???

Awesome and the shitty looking fonts.

I have checked my gtkrc-2.0 file. Here it is...

# DO NOT EDIT!  This file will be overwritten by LXAppearance.
# Any customization should be done in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine

gtk-theme-name="Glossy"
gtk-icon-theme-name="nuoveXT.2.2"
gtk-font-name="Bitstream Vera Sans 8"
gtk-toolbar-style=2
include "/home/jasin/.gtkrc-2.0.mine"

My gtkrc-2.0.mime file.

style "Bitstream Vera Sans 9"
{
font_name = "Bitstream Vera Sans 9"
}
widget_class "*" style "Bitstream Vera Sans"
gtk-font-name = "Bitstream Vera Sans 9"

I had a copy and paste ~/fonts.conf file straight from the arch wiki, worhtless under awesome.

Here is the soft links I made under /etc/fonts/conf.d/

Here is my xorg.conf

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"
    #FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
    #FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
    RgbPath      "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
    ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/local"
EndSection

Section "Module"
    Load           "extmod"
    Load           "glx"
    Load           "dbe"
    Load           "xtrap"
    Load           "freetype"
EndSection

I also have removed the 100 and 75 dpi packages, that is why they are commented out in xorg.conf.
