You should file the bug against rendering libraries and/or toolkits like
GTK, because FreeType only provides the facilities for horizontal and
vertical subpixel rendering, the rendering system has to keep track of
the screen orientation by itself.

Title:
  subpixel rendering doesn't respect screen rotation

Status in freetype package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in wayland package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  1) Open gnome-terminal
  2) xrandr --output default --rotate inverted
  2) Open another gnome-terminal

  In both the original and the new terminal, text has red and blue
  "shadows" caused by subpixel rendering that doesn't match up to the
  inverted pixel layout resulting from the screen being flipped 180
  degrees.
