Not only does the kcm do that, I find it quite annoying that it decides to reformat my entire file when no changes are made.  I was going to file a new bug, but found this one instead.

Why does the kcm change or alter the file when you've cancelled out of the font dialog?  I have a lot of custom adjustments and I have it formatted so that I can easily read it

By simply opening the kcm, it reformats the entire file inserting anything that it feels is missing.  Even if it's already there.  One example, it will completely ignore this and re-enter the information using a <match> for each <edit> attribute.

<match target="font" >
	<edit mode="assign" name="autohint"><bool>false</bool></edit>
	<edit mode="assign" name="hinting"><bool>true</bool></edit>
<!--	<edit name="hintstyle"><const>hintmedium</const></edit> -->
	<edit mode="assign" name="rgba"><const>none</const></edit>

<!-- Turn on System wide Antialias -->
	<edit mode="assign" name="antialias"><bool>true</bool></edit>
</match>

------------Is Ignored and this is at the bottom----------

<match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="autohint" >
   <bool>false</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit name="hintstyle" >
   <const>hintmedium</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
   <const>none</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
<!-- Turn on System wide Antialias --> <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>

-----------

You'll notice it has decided to add an <edit> for "hintstyle" even though there is no setting in the original file.

Please only write a fonts.conf file if something has changed, nothing should be altered by simply opening a dialog.
