so i've been tinkering around with gdi++ and while it works, almost every application i open throws an error of needing msvcr80.dll even though the program opens fine after i click ok. if i stick msvcr80.dll in the system32 directory, then i get a new error saying "Runtime Error R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C Runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application support team for more information." has anyone else experienced that when trying to get gdi++ working?

search google for microsoft c runtime library and install that :)

I cant decide whether I love it or hate it :p

It does look rather smooth... BTW the latest version fixes the screwups in the taskbar... you just download and run :)

Plus you can set weighting, antialiasing, etc per individual font.

Just wondering whats the ramifications of using this with Vista Aero - Is the font rendering shuftied to DWM or is it still GDI?

If so doesnt that mean your bypassing the hardware acceleration of DWM?

Edit: CPU Load makes me unhappy :p

only affects GDI(+) apps, GDI(+) apps don't get hardware acceleration anyway.

Download the source and compile it, I'd think not sure whether it has 64bit support though

easier said than done. Is there any sort of guide that shows me how to compile something? I can do it in linux with the terminal (and only sometimes), but in windows i have no clue.

That screenshot illustrates nothing but a XP SP2 system looking like a Mac system,

It still has the font ugliness.. Slap GDI++ on it and it should look nicer :p

As to the 64bit guy - You asked where to get it, I provided the answer.

You could try snooping around the authors site but its in Japanese...

'Downloads' is misspelt.

Thanks :)

Wrong. GDI would make it bold, hence far from mac fonts.

I think "bold" would look a lot better than "heinous". . . which is the way it looks now.

Maybe it's just my display, but the fonts are thin and it looks as if they "fade" away or something.

Just my opinion.

I'm about to give this little app a try for myself.

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
