yes, i looked at it way too much, and i perceived that the color balance was often off causing annoying color fringing. also, the many different kinds of subpixel geometries nowadays are hard to keep track of, there are special displays with unequal number and irregular arrangements of r, g, b, w subpixels, and generally this is not even visible to the software. if you do it right, it will only work on one monitor. just learn how to do what you already tried to do more correctly, and it will be mostly fine. right now your antialiasing does the expected: blur out the edges. but it doesn't fix the broken hinting.
