I would propose to use the new hinting with actual sub-pixel rendering
and also with horizontal sub-pixel positioning. This requires more
changes than replacing Freetype, including changes to the glyph caching
I'd be interested in this. However, before I invest quantities of
time... we still ship freetype without the combination of
hinting+subpixel enabled, so one still needs to decide which of the two
is activated. Is this even worth it if we can't ship the combination of
both?

Julian
