Affects: control-center (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
No idea where this problem is, but on my desktop machine, subpixel font
rendering doesn't work - I have confirmed this using 'xmag' which shows
just greyscale smoothing, whereas on my laptop it shows the smoothing in
lots of different colours.

I'm at a loss to know where to look to track things down, so where might
the problem be ?
