This will only work if your pattern includes 'arial'; if you're pattern 
ends up matching 'arial' through some other route, you won't get hinting 
disabled.  The key here is to edit the output of the matching process 
rather than the input:

<match target="font">
        <test qual="any" name="family"><string>arial</string></test>
        <edit name="hinting" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit>
</match>

Now any time your application uses 'arial', it will have hinting disabled.
