Patch by Claudio Leite which turns on subpixel rendering:

Looks great on two my screens. Would be nice to have it integrated in Appearance preflet as well to easily switch between different types of rendering.

That patch enables patented code by default and, in the discussion linked, Claudio states he will work on improved patches. It would probably be better to ask him on an update in that discussion and refer to this bug.

I've asked for an update on the mailinglist.

The patch as is cannot be applied, but I am all for giving the user more options, especially since text rendering is a touchy subject and depends on personal taste and preference a lot.
