Re: [ft] Subpixel Hinting Patch

[Moony]

Yes, I can do that.  Perhaps I use FT_LOAD_SUBPIXEL_HINTING instead?  Or 
do you want to use FT_LOAD_CLEARTYPE_HINTING so that people understand 
what this is attempting to duplicate?  Just looking at it from a 
trademark point-of-view.

I would also like to get others to test the patch before formally 
submitting anything, to make sure I'm approaching it as generally as 
possible, and not specific to the fonts I like.
