See bug 10342 for more information. Your freetype needs to be compiled with

#define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING

I did not bother to check with the existing FreeType in the latest
Xorg or Xcode or where ever it is, under OS X, I just assumed its not
enabled and I rolled my own for other reasons anyway. To enable
SubPixel support you need to change the value for HCU\Control
Panel\Desktop\FontSmoothing from 0 to 1(I think) or 2. Setting the
option to 1 seems to change the algorithm used, I think that's using
Gray Scale hinting, there is a lot of traffic on the bug so I might
have just missed where it clarifies. Setting the option to 2 (to me at
least) looks best.
