No idea, i'm almost clueless when it comes to [advanced] font rendering, and moreover i'm totally clueless when it comes to the Poppler-Cairo renderer used by Evince so i don't know where the fix belongs. > > I investigated if this has come up on this list in the recent months > again and there was a thread about using Cairo in a Qt4 backend just to > get subpixel rendering / LCD filtering.

If there is anything that needs to be patched in poppler, give us patches that someone can understand and apply, we hardly reject patches, the problem is that there's not much people "reviewing" patches because there's not much people at all contributing to poppler.
