Title:
  subpixel rendering doesn't respect screen rotation

Status in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in freetype package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  1) Open gnome-terminal
  2) xrandr --output default --rotate inverted
  2) Open another gnome-terminal

  In both the original and the new terminal, text has red and blue
  "shadows" caused by subpixel rendering that doesn't match up to the
  inverted pixel layout resulting from the screen being flipped 180
  degrees.
