If you look at the source code for freetype-2.6.3, you will see that 
this is the way that it is setup by default in version 2.6.3 (and prior 
versions of freetype2). That is, TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING is 
not defined in ftoptions.h for 2.6.3 by default and which was the 
primary difference between the rendering from freetype-2.6.3 versus 
freetype-2.7.1 since it is defined by default in 2.7.1. So, by removing 
the definition of TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING, I now have 
freetype-2.7.1 configured the same as the default version of 2.6.3 and 
prior versions of freetype2 in order to get the same results with 
subpixel rendering enabled by defining FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING

Thanks again!
