Tihiy Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 I've uploaded a new version on the same link.However, it does not contain any noticeable changes at all; you shouldn't bother to install it. There are only slight code changes.I've decided to not develop ClearType wider now since performance of rasterizer is quite bad.Maybe later, maybe another renderer.ClearType will be available as the optional component in upcoming Revolutions Pack.Don't worry, there will be no extra calories.Also FYI, you can tweak font look a bit from Microsoft Reader options.

RetroOS Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 ...I've decided to not develop ClearType wider now since performance of rasterizer is quite bad.Maybe later, maybe another renderer.... And you were on a roll too!The performance has improved with your second update and is actually barely noticable for general use!After a day's use, I no longer notice it at all...What I do notice, like XP-Vista-7, is that reading on-screen is much easier on the eyes!I'll test your third update just to see if there is any performance change. I noticed on Philco's last screenshot, that his window title bar text is using ClearType.Even though mine are using a TrueType font, they are not using ClearType???I am not using UberSkin, but RP instead, so I wonder if that is the reason?Also, I currently do not have a skin applied with LameSkin.- I thought this was odd.I still think it is worth continuing with ClearType, at least as an option, since many people would wear the small performance hit for the sake of excellent screen readability.So my verdict is: Keep up the good work!Thanks Tihiy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supem Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I've found a bug while printing document with header in Word 2000 . First I noticed at my LCD upper parts of words in document header were partially covered blue and finally on the printed sheet all lines are black rectangles (no letters only bullets are visible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatever420 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) ...remove the zip file and any links directly to it...... Edited February 19, 2009 by whatever420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatever420 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I believe I've found an odd bug in either ClearType or rpclrtyp.dll...Sections of the Status Bar in MyIE2 are sometimes stretched wider when I start MyIE2...Don't know which is causing it...

Tihiy Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 on the printed sheet all lines are black rectanglesaha.Preview version 4Same download link.- ClearType is disabled for whole printing processIf you find major glitches within Word, please post evidences.whatever420: That's a nice thing you've done. Although i could & intend to use ctras.dll independently, i can't do that now for test sake.I can't advice using your archive. (7z? hardcoded strange paths? also, unnecessary entries) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(7z? hardcoded strange paths? also, unnecessary entries)Thanks Tihiy ...Yeah, I understand your comments...The files I provided were just an example (test) of how it could be implemented...If I were putting it out there for public use, it would be a bit more professional...

RetroOS Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hi Tihiy, what did you change in update 4?My system seems even faster on the screen draw...It's quite nice in fact! I liiiike it!The only change in resources, I noted, is a 2% drop in USER resources, quite good really!ClearType is one feature of newer XP-Vista-7 that I really liked.Now it's coming to 9x!
