And it should be possible to turn off the subpixel rendering alltogether. I do not like "colored" characters and would prefer subpixel rendering being off by default but at least an easy option to turn this off would be great.

On my fresh Oneiric installation, there is no way to do so, and the fonts look really ugly in some places (e.g., in the panel). They appear to be blurry, which disturbs me very much. My eyes even keep moving up the place where the indicators sit just because there is something there that doesn't look right. Ubuntu really needs a way to configure these things if they can't be detected automatically.
