Very interesting indeed. I've made the test and it seems that my (AGG)
gamma correction is done right.

If I disable gamma correction and subpixel rendering the quality get
clearly worst.

So the problem is still standing about why fonts looks washed with
gamma correction. More important too, what is the better method to
render fonts ? Disable gamma corrections ?
