There are legal reasons that Fedora has not distributed those patches
before. Those reasons still apply.
Those patches do not contain any subpixel antialiasing code, they just call
the freetype LCD filter when it's available. There is no actual subpixel
antialiasing being done if it's disabled in freetype. In fact, those
patches even REMOVE hardcoded subpixel filters, in favor of using the
freetype ones.
In that case, as someone said in the bug, they should probably just go
directly upstream. It does seem like a sensible way to do things,
though.
Now I remember. Quick update on this. These patches *almost* went into cairo
1.8, but were taken out at the release point by the benevolent
dictator^Wmaintainer. He had valid concerns. I'll try to address them and
have the feature added into cairo 1.10.
