Chromium 40.0.2202.0 (32 and 64 bit) and Chrome 39.0.2171.36 m (32 and 64bit) are not affected by Mactype 1.12.1022 anymore

I used an older version of Chromium 64bit and the Mactype rendering was 
enabled. It was also enabled in Chrome, also an older version. For other 
reasons I decided to update Chromium 64bit to the newest version. After 
updating the text lost its Mactype rendering. I checked in the older version of 
Chrome and it was disabled there too. Now I've updated both Chromium and 
Chrome, both 32 and 64bit and I've reinstalled Mactype but the font rendering 
is gone. It's still present in my Windows install, I checked every browser I 
have and they all lack the rendering now.

Was googling for days and right after posting this question I found the 
solution: #enable-direct-write

DirectWrite is the best font rendering that we have available anyways for 
Chrome, so just use that. There's no need to even use MacType any more when it 
comes to Chrome due to the fact that they enabled it. It also will be much 
glitchier and slower with MacType in comparison to the thoroughly-tested 
implementation by the Chromium developers.

I updated and now it's shitty for some parts of a webpage. For example the chat 
screen in Facebook or the content text in ukf.com. Disabled and re-enabled 
directwrite and nothing. Btw, without Mactype nothing happens with text in 
Chromium. With or without directwrite enabled..
