This is called sub-pixel rendering. This is OK for text rendered on-the-fly on the screen but doesn't work for fixed text in images that can be displayed on other screens (because the multi-color thing depends on the ordering of colors in your LCD display), and won't work on radically different screens such as CRT, and is invalid if the text is transformed (even with a mere 90° rotation).
In practice this is useful only for small sizes (say, up to 14) and the text in Gimp is usually much bigger. IIRC the behavior you seek existed on Linux and was reported as a bug...
