[Bug 703191] Re: BGR-ordered subpixel font rendering appears broken/nonfunctional in Gnome/GTK+

[Clarke Wixon]

The rendering bugfix is incorporated into cairo 1.11.4, released
2012-03-12, so that's a little bit of progress I suppose.

For whatever reason, though, now that I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 beta,
even my lovingly hand-patched and compiled version of Cairo doesn't seem
to resolve this problem anymore.  (It worked in 11.04 and I skipped
11.10.)

And I also see that the UI for selecting a desired subpixel orientation
has been removed from Ubuntu (though there's still a key in gconf at
/desktop/gnome/font_rendering/rgba_order).

Argh.

You know what DOES work?  Mounting my monitor upside-down.  Voilà,
instant R-G-B stripe order.

That's what it has come to.
