I believe that the subpixel rendering is actually enabled in the rasterization
step, in libXft or in cairo.  Subpixel rendering *is* a defacto setting on most
major distros, wherever it is enabled (freetype, xft, whatever... not totally
sure).  Gnome and KDE's font configuration areas each have options for subpixel
rendering. 

But redirecting my request to any of those (freetype, xft, cairo) developers
will not solve the issue with Wine, because Wine does not respect your system's
font settings, whatever they may be.  I can tell you that right now on my
system, I have freetype, xft, and cairo all using subpixel rendering, and Wine
refuses to display the fonts with subpixel rendering.  Ths issue *is* with
Wine, not with anything else.  I've looked at the Wine code that handles font
rendering, and can verify that.
