Not all the fonts get smoothed

The headline of the article is not smoothed in my system, other text is smoothed. Why? My .fonts.conf:

<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
 <match target="font">
  <edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
   <const>none</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font">
  <edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font">
  <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
   <const>hintfull</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font">
  <edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
</fontconfig>

It's not the only text on Web I meet that is not smoothed. 98% of text has great smoothing, other 2% doesn't have smoothing and looks ugly. How to fix it?

Removing the xorg fonts will most likely solve the problem.

A picture of what you are seeing will also help.

I assume you're missing:

    <!-- Reject bitmap fonts in favour of Truetype, Postscript, etc. -->
    <selectfont>
        <rejectfont>
            <pattern>
                <patelt name="scalable">
                    <bool>false</bool>
                </patelt>
            </pattern>
        </rejectfont>
    </selectfont>

    Don't use bitmaps at all, because they look horrible. Enable them for individiual fonts and sizes, if needed. -->
    <match target="font">
        <edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign">
            <bool>false</bool>
        </edit>
    </match>

Anyway, see Gentoo fonts thread for the state-of-the-art in font rendering - currently, Infinality's freetype patches.
