It's probably due to anti-aliasing. Sub-pixel rendering is just one of the
tricks that can be used when doing anti-aliasing.
Have you tried to disable both sub-pixel rendering and anti-aliasing?

Or just the anti-aliasing. What might be happening is that you're using
a very light font (at the size you're using it, its lines are of thickness
lower than 1 pixel, say), so without anti-aliasing it's "rounded up to 1",
whereas anti-aliasing actually approximates the fractional pixel
of thickness.
