You don't want that if you don't have an LCD display, or if you have one of those
LCD displays with RGB reversed, or are using it in portrait mode), as the
resulting color fringes will look terrible. For this reason if you want a screenshot
to look good when people view it, make it with subpixel rendering turned off.

The only other solution would be to save an image that is 9 times bigger (3x3) in
antialiased mode and add code to browsers to correctly dither this into colors to
match the subpixels on their LCD display. This is not going to happen soon.
