Extract the whole <MATCH> tag from George's document and insert it
anywhere in your fonts.conf file with the limitation that it must be placed at
the same level as the already present <MATCH>s.

You way want to make your file read-only in order to prevent any
desktop environment from overwriting your settings.
You can also place the whole document George mentioned in a separate
file in the ~/.config/fontconfig/ directory. For reference, look in
/usr/local/etc/fonts/ how this is done system-wide.

Those settings are fine and can be kept. Removing then will change
the appearance of text on screen.
