For those like me who don't use all of gnome, just apps, and have to
edit things by hand, that translates to something like this in fonts.conf:
<match target="font">
<test qual="all" name="rgba">
<const>unknown</const>
</test>
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
</match>
And yes, it's just about worth it.

It's a bit of a pity that the library that is rendering them cannot ask
the X server if a LCD is connected and DTRT.
