Comment (by leavengood):
Claudio emailed me back and provided the same patch as was originally
posted here. Since some source files have moved since that patch was made
I started making the same changes manually in order to test the changes
and soon came to discover that freetype has been moved into an optional
package as of hrev43869 from March 17, 2012.
In that optional package korli chose to disable the subpixel rendering,
and since it is a compile time option, we cannot really provide it without
compiling a specific freetype optional package with that option enabled.
Though the beauty of that approach is it should be possible to provide
that optional package and let people download it without making changes in
Haiku. So people could use this subpixel rendering without having to
compile Haiku themselves. And we could have some warning about "this is
patented code, download at your own risk" or something to avoid patent
issues.
Anyhow to conclude I'll try to make my own freetype with this option
turned on and see how that works with this patch.
