so whats /g/'s opinion on mactype? It seems like a legit solution to default shitty pixel bound ( 800x600 anyone? ) microsoft font rendering. Do you use it? If not why?

I have windows 10

jesus christ my eyes are watery, how can you look at that blurry mess

>>52335234
Because all it does is create a blurry mess, as shown in your picture. Windows' sharp default font rendering is both better and fine.

The fonts in all of these look the same to me as my current default Win10 fonts. Could someone point out the major differences?

nvm disregard everything i suck cocks, just install Font Rendering Enhancer if you are on Chrome or Opera and make sure directwrite is on, it will only affect browser but it doesnt have any kerning issues and font stays sharp
>>
>>52336344
In fairness, that's some pretty poor rendering. Do you have ClearType misconfigured?

>directwrite on
turning it off gets better results
anyone r8 my font rendering? Win10 directwrite off Font Rendering Enhancer width 80
>>
>>52339305
turning it off gives bugs with kerning and in some cases misformed letters.

It's a nice effort, but it doesn't do shit for Windows' brain-dead kerning. So you get pretty glyphs, but they're still placed badly.

tried to turn it off, it looks too sharp on 1080p as if no antialiasing is applied, on 720p its not as noticable i guess
>>
>>52339646
could be, im on 1366x768 and it looked too sharp at first but then i got used to it
>>
>>
I never notice the difference between my windows 10, xubuntu, and os x fontrendering
>shit vision
>>
I didn't notice anything installing pure whtever with chrome
>>
Font rendering is only important to me when I am using a monitor that I can only connect to through VGA. Even then it looks fine if I configure ClearType
>>
Because only mouth breathing idiots and children use Windows on their home computer because they are too ignorant to get a better OS. And I am neither.
>>
i can never tell the difference between these, maybe i'm blind

Never, never use edge. Look at this shit. Worst part about it, you can't change the font settings.
