I dunno, but maybe it's because you're using <double>?  I had success
using <int> to match against pixelsize.

The following .fonts.conf file works for me; it:
(1) turns on the autohinter, which seems to improve these fonts,
and (2) turns off anti-aliasing for a pixelsize between 13 and 17
(for fonts smaller than 13 pixels, the curved lines in these fonts start
to get weird ugly artifacts).

BTW the fonts below are actually "kochi gothic" and "kochi mincho", but
for whatever reason the roman names don't match...  I don't really
understand f.c.'s matcher too well !
