Hello!
I use all of them. I created this script to change the mdv packages with
pclos ones:

#!/bin/bash
rpm -e --nodeps libcairo2
rpm -ivh  libcairo2-1.4.14-1pclos2007.i586.rpm
rpm -e --nodeps libxft2
rpm -ivh libxft2-2.1.12-2pclos2007.i586.rpm
rpm -e --nodeps libfreetype6
rpm -ivh libfreetype6-2.3.5-1pclos2007.i586.rpm


The packages must be stored in the same folder as this script when you run
it, of course.

After running the script I modify /etc/fonts/fonts.conf adding this:

 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
   <const>rgb</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
   <const>hintmedium</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>

so the Cleartype is applied system wide.

Regards!
