X font handling can't do anti-aliasing or sub-pixel rendering or
anything else but simple bitmaps unless you depend on extensions.

Depending on what X server you want to run it against, there may be a
way to do this - that I can't comment on.  But you definitely will need
to look at extensions if you want sub-pixel font rendering under X.
