Adding Directwrite segments allows you to customize the DW parameters

Due to the latest changes in Win10, Edge browser added additional security restrictions, now non-Microsoft signed files have been unable to load, so the Edge browser is temporarily unable to support.

The new parameters are described below:

[directwrite];0= default; 1 = dog tooth mode; 2=gdi Classic, transverse antialiasing, equivalent to ClearType mode in GDI mode; 3=gdi natural, transverse antialiasing, equivalent to ClearType natural mode in GDI mode; 4 = natural mode, Horizontal anti-aliasing, support sub-pixel layout, the word spacing will be more uniform; 5 = natural symmetry mode, transverse longitudinal anti-aliasing, Microsoft recommends for larger fonts, smoother display, 6 = Disable renderer, use original glyph directly. Grayscale rendering, no other options are valid. Special instructions, directwrite,6 and 5 equivalent, at this time the other parameters for the DW is valid, the D2D is invalid. RENDERINGMODE=[0-6]; default value 0gammavalue=[0-10.0]; The default value is auto-calculated. contrast=[0.0625-10.0]; Default value 1cleartypelevel=[0-1.0]; The default value of 1 determines the strength of antialiasing. The exact meaning of Microsoft is not explicitly given. The rendering mode rgb/bgr/grayscale parameters are determined automatically by the Antialiasmode in the General section. When renderingmode=6, direct2d fixed to grayscale rendering cannot be changed.

For the Directwrite configuration to take effect, you need to first enable DW support in the General section using Directwrite=1!

Specific instructions for the Directwrite:

Although technically called directwrite, but in fact Directwrite is just a font engine, Microsoft provides Directwrite interface and DIRECT2D interface, both of which can invoke the Directwrite font engine. If you have been using Mactypepatch in Japan, you will definitely be impressed by the two paragraphs that are part of his configuration. The more disgusting thing is that the two engines end up with different outputs, and Microsoft crosses both interfaces in Windows, and even different versions of the program use the same interface, which makes tuning parameters sometimes not applicable on another version of Windows. Here's one of the most special exceptions, renderingmode=6. According to Microsoft note, 6=dwrite_rendering_mode_outline, specifies that RENDERING should bypass the rasterizer and use the outlines Directl Y. This is typically used at very large sizes. That is, to skip the rasterizer, the direct output glyph however this parameter in the Directwrite interface effect is equivalent to 1 (sawtooth mode, dog tooth mode), the result is direct2d look very beautiful, directwrite depressed ... As a result of skipping the rasterizer, grayscale rendering is done in 6 mode. Everyone can enlarge the picture to see it. Other parameters are the same, you will always find Directwrite, two programs sometimes the effect of a slight difference, fortunately, the difference is usually not big. Of course, except for this freak of chrome ...

Mactype is a font rendering software under windows that improves the problem of dog teeth, jagged, and distorted windows under low-resolution screen fonts, but it has a fatal flaw: it cannot render programs that use Microsoft DirectDraw rendering. And there are some other small problems, such as the vertical arrangement of the text of some words do not render the problem. Therefore, do not use the registry mode when Directwrite support is turned on in the Win7 system, otherwise it will not start!!

Programmers from Japan have developed a mactype patch that allows Mactype to support DirectDraw-rendered programs. Just using the method, there is a point that the author is not clear: only support loading the default rendering profile Default.ini, does not support the loading of other configuration files, we can rename the default Default.ini, its own rendering configuration file renamed to Default.ini.
