--- Comment #4 from Behdad Esfahbod <freedesktop at behdad.org> ---
My gut feeling is that these new panels are high-resolution enough that
subpixel rendering is not necessary. I'm also worried about the color fringing
you would get with those panels.  It's already bad enough that with regular
Pentile displays you a visible zigzag of red on the right side of the vertical
stems. That's why I believe Android does a lot more blurring to work around
that. Ie, it's lowpass-filtering the image. Extra resolution wouldn't help
that; it will be filtered out.

If you still want to try, you can play with FreeType. Microscopic image is
irrelevant. The question is: does it look significantly better than just
grayscale antialiasing.
