Just a questions for you.  I notice that fonts line MS Sans Serif Regular
and MS Serif Regular, among a few others, are not redrawn.  Is this by
design or is there an option to make them look better?

There is a font called Microsoft Sans Serif and then gets redrawn fine.

Bold fonts in not working correctly in UI?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure Windows XP to show bold fonts in window UI elements


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Bold fonts should be used, however normal fonts, with increased character
spacing are shown instead.  Please refer to the first two attachments
showing the Firefox titlebar, with/without bold fonts.

What version of gdipp are you using? On what operating system (with
bitness)?

gdipp 0.7.2
Windows XP SP3 32bit (Ja)


Please provide any additional information below.

First, thank you for fixing the font manager to work correctly in Windows
XP, and for cleaning-up the online documentation.  Everything appears to be
functioning correctly, however elements of the Windows GUI that are set to
be shown in Bold display as normal text, yet with larger spacing between
characters.

In order to set bold fonts, use the Windows XP 'Appearance' dialogue (from
the right-mouse 'Desktop Properties' applet), select a UI element, then
enable/disable the bold control ('B' button).  Note that I am using 'Lucida
Grande' font, however the same thing happens with standard Windows fonts
such as Tahoma etc.

Cheers,
James

"Blurry" texts

Which program triggers the problem? Specify the filename if possible.
Throughout the whole system

What steps will reproduce the problem?
M/A

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Some texts are rendered nicely while others are rendered weird

What version of gdipp are you using? On what operating system (bitness)?
0.7.5 x64, registry mode

Please provide any additional information below.
As seen in the attachment, circle #2 shows how the texts were rendered 
before (last version I tried was 0.7.3).
Circle #1 shows how some of the texts are rendered differently. This 
happens to lots of applications, for example the address bar of google 
chrome. This makes these texts harder to read.
Is it an intended change in 0.7.5? I didn't try 0.7.4 so can't comment on 
that.

Feature request: provide a way to re-read config file / inject self into running processes

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Modify config file
2. Restart service for this to take effect
3. All running processes lose their rendering and must be restarted

Is there a way to force gdipp to reread its config file for changes I have 
made?  The problem is that when I shutdown service, all running apps lose 
rendering and must be restarted.  With Unix apps usually you can send a HUP 
signal to get them to reread their config without restarting.

Or, is there a way for gdipp to inject itself into running processes the 
way GDI++ was able to?

Taskbar Text Is Un-bolded, Difficult to Read

Which program triggers the problem? Specify the filename if possible.

Not sure. Explorer.exe?


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install gdipp_x64_0.7.4.msi
2.Enable font smoothing/Turn on gdipp service
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I've attached screenshots of behavior in previous versions of gdipp and
behavior in the 0.7.4 release. Long story short: taskbar text is un-bolded.
In previous versions, taskbar text was (a) bolded for both active and
inactive windows and (b) effectively smoothed. Here, condition (b) still
obtains, but condition (a) is no longer operable.

What version of gdipp are you using? On what operating system (bitness)?

I use the classic shell, which is maybe contributing to what's going on here?

Renderer does not function in Google Chrome

1. Open a website using Google Chrome.

Text in websites should be rendered using gdipp, but it appears unaffected.

Please provide any additional information below.
I realise that you are not supporting Windows XP, however gdipp appears to 
be working reasonable well on this system so far.

I suspect this issue is related to the way chrome.exe handles processes 
('HookChildProcess' is required in gdi++).

Service depedencies?

I use gdipp on my office machine (Windows XP SP3 Ja) and would like to 
transition over from gdi++ on my home laptop.  This computer is also 
running XP, however it's a rather stripped-down installation, created with 
nLite.

After initially installing gdipp, the program functions correctly.  
However, upon restarting (with the service set to 'automatic') gdipp does 
not appear to be enabled. Starting the service manually produces the 
attached dialog.

I expect the problem is related to services that have been removed from 
Windows.  I have attempted to re-add the files that gdipp requests (using 
Filemon.exe from SysInternals), however the service still does not start 
correctly.

May I therefore ask which dependencies (other services/files) are required 
for gdipp to start in Service mode?

Cheers,
James

Some random websites are not loaded properly at random times. Today logging
into Facebook caused firefox to corrupt. A few weeks ago Wikipedia caused
the same problem, but only in a specific page (eszet article). This page
does not cause problems today. I am attaching a screenshot of firefox. I
cannot change tabs or click on anything. If try to close firefox, "Close
Firefox" dialog does not have any buttons. Restarting firefox does not
solve the problem. I observe the same problem with ezgdi also.

0.7.6 causes Catalyst Control Center to Terminate Unexpectedly

Which program triggers the problem? Specify the filename if possible.
CCC.exe


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install gdipp v0.7.6
2.Reboot
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
CCC ran OK under previous versions of gdipp. (There were a few hiccups with
0.7.3, but these -- on the whole -- were sporadic.) 

This is only an issue during boot-up. I have gdipp installed as 32- and
64-bit Windows services. During boot, I think the issue is that the gdipp
service starts up before CCC (or the CCC runtime) launches. If I stop the
gdipp service (64-bit), restart the CCC runtime, and *then* restart the
gdipp (64-bit) service, everything works fine. It's only an issue during boot.

What version of gdipp are you using? On what operating system (bitness)?
0.7.6 on Windows Vista Ultimate Edition 64-bit (SP2)

Implement 'Saturation' and 'FontLink' functionality from gdi++

As per the summary title, I would like to request that the 'Saturation' and 
'FontLink' functionality from gdi++ is implemented in gdipp.

My gdi++ settings file is attached for reference.

- I use a value of Saturation=8, which gives the text a slightly softer 
appearance.
- I use the 'FontLink' functionality to ensure that gdi++ renders Japanese 
elements that are sometimes ignored (Explorer filenames, folder tree 
list/desktop, some menus).  Note that without the 'FontLink' configuration 
entries, gdi++ behaves like gdipp.

I realise that Windows XP is not officially supported by this project, 
however functionality is very nearly perfect, thus I would like to 
encourage the developers to resolve the remaining minor XP issues, if 
possible.

Separate PNG files and combined TIF file (open in Photoshop to see both 
layers) attached.


What version of gdipp are you using? On what operating system (with

Redraw rate is too slow

Which program triggers the problem? Specify the program filename if
necessary.


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.

3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
You should not see text change.  Text in most cases starts out in GDI mode
until GDI++ kicks in.

What version of gdipp are you using? On what operating system (with
bitness)?
   gdipp_x64_0.7.3.   Windows 7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.

The redraw rate of the text can be annoying. I tried to go lower then 1
second on the polling but it didn't help much.  IMO you should not see the
change in the text.  A good example is taskmanager.  

I have a very fast machine and video card (i7 Quad @4Ghz, 9GB RAM, ATI HD5870)

Service depedencies?

I use gdipp on my office machine (Windows XP SP3 Ja) and would like to 
transition over from gdi++ on my home laptop.  This computer is also 
running XP, however it's a rather stripped-down installation, created with 
nLite.

After initially installing gdipp, the program functions correctly.  
However, upon restarting (with the service set to 'automatic') gdipp does 
not appear to be enabled. Starting the service manually produces the 
attached dialog.

I expect the problem is related to services that have been removed from 
Windows.  I have attempted to re-add the files that gdipp requests (using 
Filemon.exe from SysInternals), however the service still does not start 
correctly.

May I therefore ask which dependencies (other services/files) are required 
for gdipp to start in Service mode?

Cheers,
James
