Be careful: ClearType consists of two parts.

  1. Special rendering to a LCD by tripling the horizontal resolution,
     then applying a filter to address the three colours of a pixel
     separately which must follow a certain geometry.  FreeType
     supports this.

  2. Use a special hinting engine which has some code to make item 1
     work with both new, specially crafted fonts and with legacy
     ones.  FreeType doesn't support this yet.

OK.

You have

  #include FT_LCD_FILTER_H

right?
