> As that page clearly shows - only the hinting patents are free now - the
subpixel rendering may likely be covered by the ClearType patents, which
it specifies are still in effect and would require using a different color
filter to evade.
Does complete hinting bytecode interpreter enabled by default? Why not to
enable this different color filter? This is probably better than
nothing...
Also does rendering glyph outlines with subpixel antialiasing by AGG
violate patents?
