  • mactype

    Better font rendering for Windows.

    • Using the app mactype which has some advanced features to work around different subpixel layouts. Even mactype is a nightmare for novice users, as figuring out a correct and working config is not simple. Do I need to configure any windows settings differently if using mactype? Should cleartype be off? Are the manual tuning options native to windows in effect while mactype is live?

  • BetterClearTypeTuner

    A better way to configure ClearType font smoothing on Windows 10.

    • No one’s talking about the real solution for this. For me it was downloading Better Clear Type Tuner setting it to grayscale and restarting. https://github.com/bp2008/BetterClearTypeTuner
