Sometimes, the pixels to be drawn may not end up to exactly match pixels on a LCD screen - e.g. when scaling the resulting pixels, or maybe the output device isn't an LCD one at all. For these cases it's desireable to be able to disable subpixel antialiasing and only have gray level antialiasing.

Reproducible: Always

Does this depend on bug 363861, or vice versa?

This patch looks good to me, and applied with minimal changes. Sorry it took almost 4 years to get anybody's attention!

I might be fine with this patch if it had users, but without a user I don't really see the point.

Please reopen this if it still matters.
