Wait, what? Longtime Wayland hater here and I literally thought this was one of the things I could expect Wayland to be better at.

  In order to do subpixel font rendering correctly, the application needs to know about the subpixel arrangement of the display hardware. So it falls under the same category as things like color management, which Wayland also doesn't support; they just didn't standardize an API to provide that information.

    Wayland has definitely provided subpixel layouts to applications for years: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/blob/main/protocol/wayland.xml#L2564 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/blob/main/p... Whether or not applications are making use of it might be a different story.

      Ah, thanks! I was more familiar with the color management situation than the subpixel anti-aliasing situation.
