Re: [ros-general] Sub-pixel rendering coup

[Filip Navara]

Hi!

ReactOS uses FreeType for renderning fonts so our font rendering 
capabilities are limited to what FreeType provides. There is an 
incomplete support for FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD mode in FreeType that should 
do more or less the same as ClearType, but unfortunetly it's not 
finished and using it causes crashes.
