This release is now feature frozen.

Bug fixes/new features:

  • Update FreeType to git commit 0c4feb72cf976f63d4bf62436bc48f190d0e0c28 (this fixes issue #446)
  • Support color fonts (e.g. emoji fonts... see options below)
  • Brand new robust installer (read important note below! ... resolves #443)
  • Dropped support for 16bit graphics to fix issues related to the Touhou series (issue #440)
  • Fixed compatibility with Qt WebKit (issue #195)
  • Fixed a bug with malformed ExtTextout
  • Updated tray app to better fit multiple screen scenarios (issue #161)
  • Tray app can intercept explorer in service mode now
  • A little tweak for diacritics
  • Fixed deadlock bug in tray app
  • Fixed environment error in tuner app (issue #346)
  • Fixed translation bug in tuner app (issues #445, #444)
  • Using decimal characters (',' or '.') in ini files should work correctly (issue #358)
  • Updated to the latest FreeType 2.9.1
  • Merged some assemblers from the latest EasyHook
  • Better compatibility with Windows 10 (in theory... I've never encountered any incompatibility before)
  • Better process capture with WMI process capture, MacTray should now capture newly created process in less than 1s and no snapshot poll is required. So there should be no CPU use peak every 5s anymore
  • Won't terminate processes if unsupported fonts with vert table are found
  • Won't crash process when the specific glyph cannot be found in FreeType when Windows font linking is used
  • Does not include Infinality as this is still experimental

Workarounds for Chrome, Firefox, Java (IDEA, Picasa, etc.)

These have been moved to the wiki.

New experimental features:

✨ 😎 Color font support! 😎 ✨

To enable color fonts, in your ini file use the directive:

[experimental]
colorfont=1

To make colors appear correctly in Chrome, the invertcolor flag is required:

[experimental]
invertcolor=1

Or use per-app configure like this:

[experimental@chrome.exe]
invertcolor=1

New Installer - Important!

The new installer will try very hard to remove everything related to MacType and MacType-Patch, in order to ensure a consistent state after install. This includes profiles - so please backup your profiles!

It will also attempt to clean up the old installer even if you were unable to uninstall through Apps & Features. We're looking for feedback on the new installer so please let us know if you have any problems.
