Hi,

I recently recompiled freetype with bytecode enabled.
The theory about subpixel addressing for LCDs is in the link below

http://www.grc.com/cleartype.htm

and how to choose subpixel smoothing in gnome or kde, here

http://wiki.gentoo-xeffects.org/Font_Rendering#Changing_font_settings_in_your_Desktop_Environment

It really does make a lot of difference. The fonts change a lot.

I uploaded altered freetype rpms for FC6 i386 and FC6 x86_64, should anyone
else
is willing to try them.

Maybe ATrpms could offer a freetype version with bytecode enabled.

What do you think?
