As far as I read the code, it's set to no-preference (in which case Skia's default will be used for each font), which is another reason I thought not reading FC_RGBA is not a problem. 

Having written that, I've just found out why it regressed. In r62121 ( http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/62121), useSubpixel is initialized to 0 (OFF) in FontRenderStyle ctor.  

I think Daniel's patch is still necessary to support controlling per-strike subpiexl control (well...), but I guess we should init useSubpixel and other values to NO_PREFERENCE (2) rather than OFF.
