Description

Is there any way already to perform [subpixel rendering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering)? Or any plan to support so? It'd quite useful in order to get readable text in typical UI widgets!

Research direction

Done would require an agreed implementation scope and corresponding support for readable text in typical UI widgets.
