New issue 8328 by [email protected]: Enable subpixel antialiasing
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8328

This will require changes in Skia.

to add FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP to ignore bitmap glyphs of a font? As far as I
read the current skia, SkScalerContext_FreeType::generateImage() just
copies the bitmap glyph to the output buffer when a font has bitmap glyphs.
(Unfortunately, a lot of CJK fonts still have bitmap glyphs.) This causes a
serious problem that we cannot render CJK characters at all when we use
sub-pixel smoothing because the size of the bitmap glyph is not equal to
the one of the output buffer in this case. Even though we can change the
function to resize the bitmap glyphs, I think adding FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP is
easier to fix this edge case."
