Hi,
I had to do a fresh install on my laptop, and used the libcairo2 RPM on my
2009.0 system. Strangely it didn't work this time. I dug a little deep and
found some more patches for the fontconfig RPM, which updated the
/etc/X11/Xresources file and added the following lines:-

! Ubuntu LCD sub-pixel font rendering:
!   http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=186789
!   http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-511382.html
! Choices: lcdnone, lcddefault, lcdlight, lcdlegacy
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
sh-3.2$

I then downloaded the SRPS (ftp://ftp.brebs.me.uk and Fedora 9 or 10 section)
and checked if the fontconfig RPM had any patches...and it sure did!

Attached are the patches and the spec file for the fontconfig RPM. In my
earlier reply, the Xresources was updated (from my earlier installation) and
when the fresh PLF libcairo2 came in, it picked it up..thus showing subpixel
rendering.

Apologies for not noticing this earlier!
