Part of the reason that I needed a way to enable ClearType in Emacs is that by default I actually have ClearType disabled on my system. The reason for this is that I have a two LCD monitor setup but unfortunately, the two LCD monitors RGB order do not match. This effectively means that ClearType looks great on one display and not so good on the other. That's one thing Microsoft obviously didn't consider when implementing the ClearType support.
Because I mostly use Emacs on the one LCD monitor, I explicitly enable ClearType in Emacs.
Cheers,
Andrew

The new font backend in emacs-unicode-2 lets you override antialiasing
on a case by case basis for each font. I think an environment variable
is the wrong solution for Emacs, and if the patch really fixes the
problems, then any option is unnecessary.
