The infinality fontconfig patch completely fixes this, but no distribution ships it because of patent encumberence.

Hmm, the FreeBSD port print/freetype2 has LCD_FILTERING ("Sub-pixel rendering (patented)") enabled by default since 27 Nov 2014.

infinality is obsolete. Freetype 2.7.0 ships a new interpreter (that's… based on infinality. but faster and simpler) http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/freetype-devel/2016-07/...

I'll have to check if I'm missing something but I haven't been happy with the effect on Ubuntu despite hearing this for a while.
