At this point I almost want to say that asking computers to render text in any way other than blitting pixmaps to a regular grid is a cruel treatment of the machine spirit. Joking aside, I am one of those people that completely disagree with subpixel anti-aliasing. I wish I could turn it off completely everywhere on Windows. I can do it on GNU/Linux and macOS never had that. It always looks wrong to me, regardless of monitor used or settings I pick, like the letters have colour fringing. I hated it when Microsoft introduced Clear Type in Windows XP and I still can't stand it.
