It should be pointed out that antialiasing and sub-pixel rendering are
just two of the benefits of the client-side font system brought by Xft
and friends.

The other benefits are just as important.  Control and installation of
fonts are easier for most users, fonts with large encodings -- such as
CJKV fonts or any iso10646-encoded font -- use *much* less vm and data
transfer between client and server is reduced for most workloads.

Even w/o antialiasing the user's experience improves.
