Hi, my dear FreeType developers,
It would be nice to see FreeType project include special rendering tool for LCD
displays using the horizontal subpixel rendering technology, as is used in
Microsoft ClearType. I thought it might be a problem with intellectual property
until I found the following site:
http://grc.com/cleartype.htm
The author of this site said that Apple II graphics programmers were already
using the vertical subpixel rendering 22 years ago. Much different from what
Microsoft stated as something "unprecedented innovation".

If so, FreeType developers will have the freedom to developer this technology
and I am sure lots of LCD software developers will benifit from your great work.
Sincerely,
Changyuan
