I have just be reminded that there is a desktop-wide setting for gnome users, 
via gnome-tweak-tool.
Under 'Fonts', there a a hinting tab, which has 4 choices: full, medium, 
slight, none; and 'antialiasing'
with 3 choices: none, grey, rgba. I don't knoe where it is stored or how it is 
done.
Presumably gnome sets the hinting choice dynamically for every gtk app.
