I think it's an Emacs problem, because it is not behaving as configured,
even though other GTK applications do.

Indeed, it is the same binary on the same machine, I just switch desktop
environments. If I switch from i3 (an X11 WM) to GNOME3, Emacs uses
subpixel rendering, whereas other packages use it under both scenarios.

The value of this on my machine is:
"XPM JPEG TIFF GIF PNG RSVG SOUND GPM DBUS GSETTINGS NOTIFY ACL GNUTLS
LIBXML2 FREETYPE XFT ZLIB TOOLKIT_SCROLL_BARS GTK3 X11"
