Publisher's Description
gdipp is a replacement of the Windows default font render, which brings to you the effect of text like Mac OS and Linux distributions. It is easy to use with ignorable overhead, and it is fully customizable.

No actually apparently your only choice is odd fonts across applications under windows, or, a unified structure that makes everything legible.

Apparently your only two choices are: clear and pixelated or bold and blurry.

Please read changelog! This is not a bug. And Windows XP was never supported in the first place, it's just that past version of gdipp did not require DirectWrite feature that Windows XP does not have.

Okay version 0.80 has serious bugs. After installing it on my system - Windows XP Pro, 32 bit I get the following error every time an application is launched:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This application has failed to start because DWrite.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried running it as a service then as a registry setting but both times I received the same error. I am downgrading my rating by 1 star because I think it has potential.

As is mentioned in changelog it no longer works in XP, not that it was ever intended to anyway. But anyway this is brialliant app, and I will continue to use version 0.7.6 on my XP boxes, and newer releases on my 7.

This beta installs in manual mode and can "hurt" your system. Love to see others reviews as I am still running 076 in xp sp3.

Simply amazing! This does wonders on my WinXP (which is not even supported OS). Works right of the box, no configuration needed. XML files is for advanced settings (see Wiki). Uninstall entry is present and accounted for in Add/Remove menu.

@JeremyP, uninstall is where it is supposed to be - "Add or Remove Programs" (or whatever it's called in W7), and for W7/x64 you have to get 64-bit version.

I expected a "slight" difference, IF it worked. In fact it really makes a big difference! Works very well with Windows XP Pro service pack 3. I have a Dell flat screen.

x64 version installed. No entry in Add/Remove programs. All there is is an xml file. Impossible to tell if it is doing anything. The problem with SO much "open source" code is that is written for the people who write them, but unuseable by other. Shame, my text rendering even on my high spec monitor is no near as good as I would hope for.

I installed it on WIndows XP professional as a service with no issues. I'm using dual LCD monitors and the text appears both darker and sharper than before. It also seems to have fixed a delay I was having with an auto text utility.

Instead of "no thanks", why not better to submit a bug report?
Plumber reviewed v0.7.6 on May 14, 2010
I installed it (as a service, the default). Within a couple minutes I noticed a font rendering anomaly while editing a shortcut. gdipp totally ruined my ability to view the text I was editing. So, no thanks. It did look good in the places it didn't totally screw up, though.
Why not submit a bug report? Because my time is valuable and I spend it how I see fit. I feel no obligation to take part in the development effort.
