MacType - A better font rasterizer for Windows

If you're tired of the ClearType Fonts in Windows and long for a more Unix/Mac Style Font Rasterizer, you most probably have heard GDI++ and GDIPP. And as both projects are somehow dead (for 6+ years), someone started a new one, called MacType.

How to install the latest version?

1.) Download and Install MacType (chose English!): http://www.mactype.net/

2.) Download the latest patch: http://silight.hatenablog.jp/entry/MacTypePatch currently the latest version is MacTypePatch_1.19.zip (2016/11/17).

4.) Copy EasyHK32.dll, EasyHK64.dll to C:\Windows\System32
