Are you saying sub-pixel hinting looks horrible? 'Cause if you are, it's 
because you haven't reconfigured your fonts properly. And, of course, 
it's only pertinent to begin with for LCD displays.

I found that I didn't care at all about this stuff until I got a LCD 
display. At that point, I had to completely reconfigure font 
preferences in all my programs, but having done that, the results are 
breathtaking, but only if subpixel hinting is on.

Subpixel hinting is really not optional for good outline font rendering 
on LCD displays.
