Description of problem:

I guess the summary says it all. When I go to System Settings->Appearance->Fonts->Use anti-aliasing->Configure I can't select "Use sub-pixel rendering". With Gnome this is no problem at all.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kde-settings-4.0-30.fc9.noarch

You have to install freetype-freeworld from RPM Fusion to get subpixel rendering. The Fedora freetype is built with that feature disabled for patent reasons. It's arguably a bug in GNOME that it offers the option when it isn't actually available. (If you look closely or use a screen magnifier, you'll notice the GNOME setting has no effect without freetype-freeworld.)
