No. Subpixel rendering is an important improvement for preserving the shape of small fonts on LCD displays. The fact that some fonts are currently rendered poorly with it (which so far I haven't been able to reproduce with the fonts I'm using) does not warrant disabling this functionality altogether. If you want to disable the *use* of subpixel rendering, I believe there's a fontconfig option for this. But we should not disable the *capability* for subpixel rendering in freetype. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
