I disagree.  The above *is* a clean, system-wide solution.  Right now,
there is no possibility by a user (or by the system administrator) to
influence the default rendering setup of FreeType at run-time.
Setting an environment variable is approximately equal to setting the
font rendering parameters in the system configuration of MS Windows,
say.

Well, yes, but most applications simply use what the system (i.e.,
FreeType) provides by default.

Probably, yes.  Compare this to the different font rendering in
various IE browser versions on MS Windows.
