Here is an updated patch that does a better job of setting the stage for
a split between grayscale and subpixel. I'm still forcing subpixel in
ttinterp.c because there AFAIK there is no way to set this with
fontconfig currently.

Also, I am running Fedora 12, and the fontconfig package comes defaulted
with these files:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 52 2009-10-29 20:44 57-dejavu-sans.conf ->
/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/57-dejavu-sans.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 57 2009-10-29 20:44 57-dejavu-sans-mono.conf ->
/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/57-dejavu-sans-mono.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 2009-10-29 20:44 57-dejavu-serif.conf ->
/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/57-dejavu-serif.conf
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1917 2008-08-09 16:24 99-DejaVu-autohinter-only.conf
These were interfering with DejaVu in Firefox and other apps (not ftdiff
though). Maybe your setup also has something similar? I can at least
get my DejaVu fonts to use the patch now. The v's and w's are a little
distorted, but that is a larger issue than just this font I think.
Now onto Palatino....
