"Why do these ClearType shots have like reds and greens on the edges of the characters on my system. I use standard RGB subpixel antialiasing on GNOME and don't see any colours at the edges of characters (unless I look really close)"Your screen must have a different RGB subpixel order. If you take a screenshot from an LCD with RGB ordering and view it on a screen with BGR ordering, you will get what you describe. I see no effects like you descrbe.
