I am currently running 11.3 on it, and I had to apply the subpixel patches to get nice smooth fonts. Now that the patent issue has expired, I was hoping to see nice smooth fonts by default in openSUSE 11.4. But unfortunately they're terribly ugly still, in KDE, Firefox, and LibreOffice. I would say they are unusably ugly in fact. This leaves the user with a very bad first impression of the OS. This is true even when comparing openSUSE with other Linux distros like Ubuntu, which have beutiful, smooth fonts right out of the box. I hope this can be fixed for the release. Thanks!
