Autohinted fonts are blurry

Reported by universa...@gmail.com, Sep 20 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.106 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Use this settings in ~/.fonts.conf 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <match target="font">
    <test qual="any" name="family">
      <string>arial</string>
    </test>
    <edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
      <const>rgb</const>
    </edit>
    <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
      <const>lcddefault</const>
    </edit>
    <edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
      <bool>true</bool>
    </edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>
2. Make sure Sans-serif font is Arial
3. Open https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome

What is the expected behavior?
fonts should be more clear and crisp

What went wrong?
Auohinting working as expected in 68.0.3440.106 (Official Build) (64-bit).
Autohinting is not working as expected in latest stable release.

Did this work before? Yes 68.0.3440.106

Chrome version: 68.0.3440.106  Channel: n/a

But 'autohint' and 'hintfull' are different settings.
In latest Stable 69.0.3497.100 'hintfull' is working.
In latest Stable 69.0.3497.100 'autohint' is not working.
