FWIW the sub-pixel rendering on Red Hat looks far worse than on Windows
XP. I don't know what MS ClearType is doing differently, but it looks
*fantastic* on my Dell Inspiron 5000e (1600x1200 15" screen, so IIRC
it's 133-134dpi or so). The color fringing is much more noticeable with
Red Hat than with WinXP, but I think the sub-pixel rendering is probably
still the best-looking mode on this display.
