[Interest] Configuring Qt's built-in freetype ?

[Jean-Michaël Celerier]

Well, I'm curious because to me it absolutely is the opposite.
Top is grayscale AA, bottom is subpixel.
The lines look so much more definite and contrasted to me, for instance the
0:00.000 is a blurry mess without sub-pixel AA.
You really prefer the top one on that screenshot ?
