    GRAY,

   
Specifies sub-pixel LCD text, which utilises characteristics
of digital LCD display panels to achieve increased pixel
resolution. This mode is generally appropriate where the
important factor is legibility of static text, particularly
at small sizes.

A request for LCD text is a 'hint', since the implementation
may need to ignore it under conditions such as compositing modes
which do not support it. It follow that where LCD text is important
that the application should avoid use of effects, transparency etc.
