I think I tracked down part of what I'm seeing. I removed all my user configuration files and relied on the system files in /etc/fonts/ alone.
The look of the fonts with the default config files, that is, only the ones that the fontconfig install script links in /etc/fonts/conf.d, is the same with the old and new package.
However, if I add the 10-autohint.conf link, the look of the font changes with the old package but apparently stays the same with the new package.
I'm using the Infinality patchset here on Slack64 current as of 27 Feb. I had hinting on medium and I noticed a slight difference with the upgrade to fontconfig-2.10.2 so I switched hinting to full and the fonts look at least as good as they did before with Qt/Gtk/Tk apps.
I installed the recently rebuilt package, Hiragana and katakana japanese fonts are wierd and pixelated now. Kanji and other chinese characters are fine.

/usr/share/fonts/TTF I believe. Im using sans with gtk2, so in xfcepanel before the hirgana and katakana was smooth.
No idea then, sorry. The first package had /usr/share/fonts and all subdirectories indexed (which led to problems), so my thought was that maybe they were in a subdirectory of /usr/share/fonts that's not listed in fonts.conf... but that one is.

ap/groff-1.22.2-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
x/fontconfig-2.10.2-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Fixed dangling symlink to 20-fix-globaladvance.conf (which was removed).
Create the symlinks in doinst.sh before running fc-cache.
Don't include /usr/share/fonts in the fonts.conf font directory list as that
causes bitmapped fonts to be used. Thanks to Iouri Kharon.
Nice to see the dangling symlink fixed. This was causing okular to not work for me.
It looks like the reason for 10-autohint.conf not to work properly is that it uses mode="append". By creating the following ~/.conf/fontconfig/fonts.conf file I was able to get my fonts exactly as they were in the old package.
