So then its probably not a good idea to look for odd width strokes and fix them?

Only way to fix this is in the app. It is just something that is
exposed when apps assuming pixel level rendering are now exposed to
subpixel rendering. That makes sense, the apps have always had the
problem, there was just no way to see it before.
