We're pleased to announce the next official beta of MacType. Although this is a beta you should find it's stable for every day use.

New Installer - Important!

The new installer will uninstall any old MacType packages, and clean up MacType-Patch and other test versions. This includes profiles, so please backup your profiles!

If you experience any problem with this release please search Issues and log a new Issue if need be. Thanks for your support!

Bug fixes/new features since beta4:

  • Includes changes from the DirectWrite test version See Note 1
  • Simpler version numbering
  • Unicode plane bug fixed and other painting bugs fixed
  • Will no longer crash Microsoft Edge
  • Improved detection of Registry Mode in MacTray
  • Brings back svchost.exe hooking so that UWP in Windows 10 with service mode and tray mode are supported
  • Per-group configuration is back
  • Color fonts in Chrome are way better (very close to the real color) See Note 2
  • New useful profiles: Clean Sharp, Clean Soft, mufunyo, and extratype

Note 1: DirectWrite test version

In the DirectWrite test version more DirectWrite hooking points were added, and @extratype made the code much more readable and easier to maintain (thanks @extratype). The DirectWrite changes are now included in this main beta.

Note 2: Color Fonts

For more info on how to use Color fonts, see https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/wiki/ColorFont. For some reason Chrome (and Cent Browser) inverts the colors of color fonts. So we have added the InvertColor option to fix this. For more information see https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/wiki/InvertColor
