Please, if anybody have 64 Bit build of gdi++, can you share information or binaries?
Gdi++ For 64 Bit Os
Yes, for the love of god, somebody please do that. I have recently installed Windows 7 x64 and it looks soooooo ugly without GDI++ ![]()
soooooo ugly?! What're you talking about? BTW If you're so disturbed about that you can use 7 x86.
It's a matter of taste I guess. I was so used to having the font smoothed in x86 Windows Vista that I missed that part in x64 Windows 7. The way I put it the last post was a slight exaggeration, though... ![]()
Someone is making a 64-bit version of gdi++ called "ezgdi" that uses EasyHook.
http://code.google.com/p/ezgdi/
Can someone tell me how do you install it? What files go where and do I need to download and install EasyHook as well?
http://code.google.com/p/ezgdi/wiki/InstallGuide
And does anyone knows how to get the ini file to look the same as Safari 4's Medium font smoothing for LCD?
apparently you have to rename the gdi++.ini file to ezgdi.ini?
I had no better results with ezgdi. I tried every combination with gdi++.ini and ezgdi.ini. I put them both in WINDOWSROOT and in system32. Result is - somewhere font rendering changed and somewhere still cleartype. Yet ezgdi is very unstable.
Sorry for poor grammar English.
The development of GDI++ project stopped a long time ago...
Anyone who want to make a 64bit version will have to start all over again...
So, I chose to stay in 32-bit just for GDI++.
ezgdi isn't complete, I just wanted to point out that someone is developing a 64-bit version of gdi++ from scratch. (yes, it does crash explorer.exe and doesn't work in IE8 or most apps so it's useless for now)
I know the future of Windows font rendering will be using Direct2D and it looks close to GDI but it's still sub-pixel rendering. I don't understand why doesn't Microsoft just use GDI and find good fonts.
