Although Microsoft uses and uses its own anti-aliasing system called ClearType, Still, many would prefer the method used in Mac OS. And help us in this small utilities Gdipp and MacType.
Gdipp Is an open project of independent developers, which is aimed at creating an alternative technology for rendering fonts in a Windows environment. This provides a smoother and more pleasing font for the eyes, similar to what we see on Mac OS and some Linux distributions.
Gdipp technology supports 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1. To test this anti-aliasing method, you need to download the latest version of the program from your home site and install it as a normal application. You should, however, bear in mind that, due to differences with the standard Windows rendering architecture, the display of fonts in some programs may not be correct. For known problems in the work of Gdipp and ways to solve them, you can find out on this page.

MacType
This program, like the one discussed above Gdipp, is based on a previously closed GDI ++ project. The main functionality is exactly the same, but there are some additional options with which you can fine-tune the display of letters in more detail.
Installing MacType is no different from installing any other program on Windows, but the first time you start, you’ll see Japanese characters in the interface. Do not be scared, you can switch to English in the application settings. Here you can choose one of the preset anti-aliasing options or create your own, changing settings such as anti-aliasing, gamma, contrast, thickness, shadow, color temperature of RGB-smoothing, corners and so on.
MacType
Judging by the feedback from users, the work of the programs MacType and Gdipp causes rather ambiguous estimates. One kind of new fonts is extremely like, others do not see anything special about them and return to the standard ClearType. And what is your impression?
