Having read the WWN (wine weekly news) lately, I think I can answer
your
question. Subpixel rendering in freetype2 uses algorithms under patent
(ironically, their held by Apple) and freetype2 is usually compiled
without them, to avoid infringement. If you live in a country that
does
not recognise software patents, you may be able to recompile freetype2
for subpixel support.
Even if you live in a country that does recognize software patents,
you should build freetype2 with subpixel support. It's not like the
Patent Office is going to come arrest you. They don't even have time
to *read* the things after all, much less come find you and throw you
in jail. :-)
