[opensuse] US Patent, Subpixel Hinting and Liberation fonts

Hi, Somewhere on the net a read that the MS patents (in that regards all US patents) does not apply outside US. Is that true?!!? My issue is to decide if I can enable sub pixel hinting or not? Is there any open equivalent to the technology?

From what I have read, the Liberation fonts (RedHat) eventually will not require subpixel hinting to look good. That doesn't make sence to me. My misunderstanding or is it true? Any technical overview on that?
