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
