openSUSE ships with subpixel rendering disabled, because that's patented technology. The Freetype folks themselves think that only the color filter is encumbered by the ClearType patents. So it strikes me as odd to disable

Well, that's not a question for me, I'm only the end-user with a tick for good-looking fonts. But what I do know is this: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/M17N/freetype2/freetype2-subpix... And this, line 88 to 90: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/M17N/freetype2/freetype2.spec?e...
So to achieve the same result you just have to rebuild the freetype with subpixel enabled (it is a define in one of the headers and official RPM has proper patch, but not applied during the build).

Thanks, I'll have a look. THe subpixel repo had more libraries in, has this become unneccesay with the 2.5 version?
Yea, there was some patched version of Pango too (I do not use anything GTK- based so will not bother rebuilding this one), plus one dependency-only or something like that rpm that disabled the yast to reinstall freetype from updates repository, which I do not care too much either. But if you're using NetBeans or any other Java Swing based app - I can share a patched build of openJDK with better fontconfig and dpi support.
