Sorry, but I have to reject your patch.

FreeType, as a generic library, doesn't communicate via environment variables.  Remember that there are operating systems that don't know the concept of environment variables at all.  BTW, this is one of the reasons why only a smaller subset of the `Infinality' patches are yet integrated into FreeType.

You can enable or disable subpixel hinting at runtime with a call to `FT_Property_Set'; see

  http://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-tt_driver.html#interpreter-version

IMHO, it's the job of the application to provide an interface to this FreeType property so that the user can control subpixel hinting.

I would like the subpixel hinting feature to be able to be disabled by a user at runtime, for example via environment variable.

Could a patch like the attached one be applied?
