It appears neither X nor Wayland can figure out my monitor's subpixel
order:
$ xrandr --verbose | grep Subpixel
Subpixel: unknown
Subpixel: unknown
Subpixel: unknown
Subpixel: unknown
Subpixel: unknown
$ weston-info | grep subpixel
subpixel_orientation: unknown, output_transform: normal,
Yet Xorg is using subpixel rendering showing in the screenshot of
comment #1. Sounds like someone is just guessing HRGB when run on Xorg,
and refusing to guess when run on Wayland (hence using the safe default
of greyscale which appears more blurry).
