Hi,
The options (in Preference Browser) are :-
MonitorTypeLCD or MonitorTypeCRT (effectively, turns sub-pixel
anti-aliasing on or off)
GlyphContrast - from 1 palest to 100 darkest; 50 is the default.
Hinting mode - one of
HintingFull - no anti-aliasing - not very good in my opinion
HintingLight - aligns only horizontal edges to pixel boundaries
(similar to how OSX does it) - the default
HintingNone - no hinting - does not attempt to align any edges with
(sub)pixel boundaries
HintingNormal - aligns both horizontal and vertical edges to
(sub)pixel boundaries (similar to how Windows does it)
Only LCD screens where the subpixel stripes are ordered RGB, and run
vertically are supported.
These are the most common type of LCD; others include..
horizontal stripes.
BGR stripes
some non-striped arrangement of the RGB subpixels. e.g. the OLPC XO
screen
Supporting BGR will probably be easy.
Supporting horizontal stripes will be harder .
Non-striped arrangements is hardest - one would need to know the physical
pixel co-ordinates for each BitBlt pixel operation.
What settings do you use in Ubuntu?
Cheers,
Andy

Everything looks nice except that i'm not very happy with subpixel
rendering on my display.
In Ubuntu you have options, to choose a display type , most preferable
for subpixel rendering, and i guess, that freetype renders glyphs in
worst way, so when i see it on display, i can easily detect a blue/red
pixels surrounding glyphs.
Is there an option in freetype, to choose the subpixel rendering mode?
Or maybe its because my eyes is still sharp :)
