Thank you for asking. It is a good idea so here there are some
screenshots to compare with and without subpixel font rendering.

Actually I have introduced not only subpixel but also "slight hinting"
i.e. hinting only in the y axis and gamma correction.

Agree, the Lite's author is very inclined on minimalism so he may not
accept the complexity brought by the AGG library with C++ and the
additional dependencies (AGG library and Freetype2). IMHO the result
is worth the additional complexity but other people may have a
different advice.
