Not fixed != not considered to be a problem.
We did attempt to address this in some restricted cases for Leopard.
All of this will presumably go away eventually as the display
resolution of output devices increases. iPhone doesn't seem to bother
with it, for instance, and at 160dpi most people seem to agree that
the text on iPhone's display is very readable.
I don't think I'd waste too much time on trying to make the system do
sub-pixel text rendering in situations where it presently doesn't.
And it certainly doesn't make sense trying to extend this
functionality to non-text-rendering, not with high-DPI displays just
around the corner.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
