We intend to flip the switch on sub-pixel layout tomorrow morning PST. We
apologize in advance for any breakages. See
https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/LayoutUnit and http://webkit.org/b/60318 for
reference, and feel free to contact Emil (eae) or me (leviw) with any
Supporting this would be very logistically intensive and error prone.
Beyond huge test expectation differences, hacking on the rendering engine
could easily result in bugs in one path or the other.

We're not prepared to take on this big change in our ports at this time.
Without an if-def, I'm not sure how we're going to coordinate flipping the
switch at a time that works for everyone.

If it's a global switch that ports can't opt out of, then we have to do this at
a time when it wouldn't disrupt anyone's release cycle. Let's say
hypothetically a vendor was going to branch from trunk and ship in two weeks
(not actually the case for us, but just to make it an extreme example).
Given the concerns brought up, we'll be adding an ENABLE_SUBPIXEL_LAYOUT
flag that will default to on. Turning this off will continue to use
FractionalLayoutUnits, but the fraction will switch to 1/1 from the default
of 1/60. This should be ready in the near future, and we'll provide another
