Request for missing critical feature: RWBG subpixel layout support for text rendering / ClearType

Hello!

Monitors with WOLED panels mostly with RWBG (but also other non-RGB too) subpixel layout are rapidly becoming widespread as they became affordable lately.

Mobile OS's have already proven that producing perfect-to-the-eye, artifact-free text rendering / antialiasing on various OLED panels is a totally solved problem already.

Current Windows ClearType / text rendering solutions however still fail at this with very unacceptable results. (This is common knowledge all over the internet, I won't post various technical evidence here but you can just look it up easily)

Partial 3rd party solutions exist, but are mostly only a band-aid and never produce 100% coverage for all productivity scenarios and never come without side-effects.

Thus we now need the official, system deep integrated solution for this.

When can you ship this in a critical update with in-advance schedule?
