Comment #28 on issue 13185 by a...@chromium.org: Ugly font rendering on linux
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=13185

marek.matulka: we pickup the font config from XSETTINGS, we ignore  
fonts.conf for
many things at the moment (inc hinting/subpixel settings). Personally, I've  
no plans
to work on that at the moment.

You mention that you're running Fedora: Fedora's FreeType library is  
compiled without
subpixel support, so we don't do subpixel on Fedora. I'm aware that some  
other
applications use subpixel mode on Fedora, I can only imagine that they're  
doing their
own subpixel rendering from the splines. We certainly don't.

The easy solution is to find an RPM for FreeType which includes subpixel  
support.
