Yeah, that's kind of what I thought.

Personally, I find there is very little difference between subpixel AA
or not even with black text. What *really* makes the difference for font
rendering is grid-fitting; which is why both native fonts (TTF hinting)
as well as Freetype (excellent auto-hinter) look much better than Squeak
fonts by default.
