Hello, As far as I know subpixel hinting is disabled if I compile freetype2 using default configuration. It's because of patents. Because of this same reason the most of distros provide freetype with subpixel hinting disabled.
As the result if someone is using freetype provided with his/her distro and want to enable subpixel hinting it is necessary to recompile freetype. It makes all the operation quite comlicated and avaliable for advanced Linux-users only. I think I would be nice if every freetype user could enable subpixel hinting just editing some text file. So we would kept subpixel hinting disabled by default but it would be much easier to enable it. No more compiling, installing. Just editing one line in one file. Is my idea possible to realize? -- Rafał Miłecki
