[GDI++ Alternative] Smooth Fonts Like Mac in Windows [GDIpp]

[LizzyAston]

This really is the best one I think, better than gdi++, but it does not render any internet browser texts unfortunately.

This is a very good renderer. I originally sought it out because I am a mac user who could not STAND the uglyness of cleartype fonts. However, I am having huge issues with google chrome and I believe it's related. The project is outdated and I have mixed feelings about it.

The greyscale glyph rendering in Linux is abysmal. Cleartype does not respect the shapes of any fonts as intended by the typographers (except the specialized MS clear type fonts). The result is that different fonts look the same or absolutely not like intended. GDI++ allows for truer font rendering at the cost of visual sharpness with smaller fonts. The average Joe doesn’t know about typesetting and is too used to the crappy MS look to appreciate the gain in visual quality and truer WYSIWYG.

SO MUCH FUCKING TALKING, DEAR LORD GET TO THE POINT MAN

@MyDoominateR haha, I agree with ya mate. I made this video for an irl friend who wanted the same thing but didn't know much at all about computers. I had to explain every detail ;P Might make a shorter version if I have time

whenever i go to my fonts, it crashes on me.

Thankyou for the vidio and the alternative to gdi++. I am so happy with this and glad I found your video. I Love it way better then the crappy cleartype. I will never use the crappy piece of dog crap cleartype again.

Question:

Do I need to turn off ClearType while using this ?

[wahidiphone]

CHASE? IS HOUSE WITH YOU?

@187onaPigeon he's here ;)

Bad. Very bad. I installed this as service, and every time I got text on the screen I just got a popup saying that GDIpp Hook crashed. Luckily, I had a chance to uninstall it and leave GDI++.

[d0wnfall15]

@rinkavideos64 What OS?

[dpcnull]

@d0wnfall15 Ubuntu

Hey there :)

Is there any way to modify (tweak) the level of blurriness/smoothness in this program? I tried looking for it in All Programs, but couldn't find it so I'm guessing it only runs in the background without a UI. But I gotta be honest, on XP, I'm seeing more progress with the OS X font rendering in Safari 5 than with this app :(

Please tell us a way to tweak the blurriness as you suggested in a comment to @jybuys.

Thanks :D

[debastiani89]

Ce logiciel fonctionne comme un charme, contrairement à GDI++.

Merci beaucoup! 

[jybuys]

Fonts look fuzzy this way..

[d0wnfall15]

@jybuys they can be tweaked around depending on your display.

[xxthunderbird46xx]

Thank you sooo much for sharing your discovery. I have an old SSE1 processor and GDI++ never worked for me, so I'm very happy that you discovered and brought this to our attention.

I just have one question before I install this app: if I don't like what I see, can I uninstall it like any other application using revo uninstaller or, is there a special way to uninstall this? I'm only asking just to be sure.

Thank you again...you rule :D

[d0wnfall15]

@xxthunderbird46xx yes you can uninstall it using the windows program manager.
