Description Filip Fila 2018-08-04 08:07:27 UTC 
LCD filter is a pretty neat option to have for font rendering; I find it improves rendering by reducing color fringing when you use subpixel rendering. 

Adding it to the kcm would just be a simple matter of writing values into fonts.conf, and having it greyed out when subpixel rendering is off. 

The values are described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/font_configuration#LCD_filter

There is a problem that some distros don't support it (e.g. OpenSUSE), but I assume the value would then just do nothing.
