Chrome 37.0.2062.102 m problem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running latest version (37.0.2062.102) Google Chrome browser
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The font has become very sharp and painful for eyes and lost it's 
enough-minimum boldness.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Chrome 37.0.2062.102 m, Windows 7 x86, the latest version of MacType

Please provide any additional information below.
First of all, you, guys, did a great job! This deeply changed my whole working 
experience. 
I've been using MacType (as a Tray Application) about 5 months and it worked 
like a charm for all my Windows apps, including Google Chrome. But a couple of 
days ago MacTray stopped rendering fonts from Chrome. The fonts became sharp. 
All other apps are ok.

I've just tried to use the portable version of old Google Chrome 27 and MacType 
works well there. I guess the problem is in the current version of Google 
Chrome. Could you actualize your software for the latest versions of Chrome?

The same problem seems to be happening again. Now with chrome version 
37.0.2062.124 m.
Disabling Direct write doesn't fix it for me anymore.

I've just checked my Google Chrome version: 
"Version 37.0.2062.124 m
Google Chrome is up to date."

Notice that I'm using a Registry Mode of MacType now and I have no problems. 

Perhaps, you should try playing with that flag I showed. I would have tried 
something like this: 
- enable flag => restart browser => check what happens.
then
- disable flag => restart browser => check what happens.

If this will not work, you can also try looking through the list of other flags 
and search for possible flags related with "fonts". I'm not sure, but, perhaps, 
there's some flag that blocks MacType.

Hi!

It got back to normal, my eyes are not hurting or bleeding anymore.
Chrome is still at Version 37.0.2062.124 m, and Disable DirectWrite is enabled 
(as it was before the problem appeared).
All MacType Chrome processes are "Running".

The problem appeared after I updated and relaunched chrome.
It was solved after disabling and enabling again the flag, restarting chrome, 
restarting everything else which could be interfering with it, and restarting 
the computer.
It was probably the PC restart that solved it though.

I believe restarting chrome after disabling direct write is the solution
