OP specifically mentions his 300 dpi displays, where you indeed don't need subpixel rendering. Low-DPI displays do need to continue to use tricks to make text halfway pleasant though. Windows with its hinting philosophy and off-by-default vertical smoothing is a bit of a special case though... like every other system out there. Oh well. > they still don’t get it and continue to insist that “it’s too hard to do it right” What is wrong with that reply? It _is_ hard to do it correct _and_ quick. |

If it were anyone other than Google/Microsoft/Apple, I might accept that. Closing the bug (rather than assigning it to a future unknown release) because it’s “too hard” is ridiculous. It’s a valid concern, the results are noticeable even on hi-dpi displays, and it should be fixed (if not now, later).
