They're a set of patches that aim to improve font rendering quality. With them, 
quality is at least as good as it is under MS Windows or Mac OS X, possibly 
even better (with the usual personal taste caveats).

They're patches to Freetype2, I'm not sure to what extent that's a part of 
X.org properly speaking, or one of its dependencies. I also remember that with 
Apple's X11 many people (me included) used a libfreetype that had certain 
rendering features activated that Apple had deactivated in the version they 
shipped. If there was a valid reason for that, it could concern binaries 
including the Infinality patches as well.
