MacType does not work on Windows 8 #15

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install MacType 
2. Restart system

-What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output: font rendering is managed by MacType through the entire 
system, apps show new fond rendering

Actual experience: standard Win8 font rendering remains active and CPU is 
overloaded by several processes at once (>35% on a Core i5). All issues 
disappear as soon as MacType is uninstalled.  

-What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
MacType v2012.04.06 on Windows 8 Release Preview (build 8400) x64

-Please provide any additional information below.
Teste running as service and from tray. Same behaviour applies.

Win8 x64 has changed some of the API coding styles, I need to rebuild some key 
component to make it working. I am already on it.

V1.2012.0406.0 works on Windows 8 (build 8400) x64 when running from registry 
only in Chrome.

Have you sorted this issue out?

Is mactype working flawlessly in Windows 8?

With traditional desktop? yes, Metro? NO!

I confirm latest MacType (1.2012.1022.0) is working for me too in Windows 8 
(64bit) desktop applications.

Will there be any releases supporting metro too??

not recently. whether Metro is based on WPF (which is private) or DirectWrite 
(API opened) is not determined so far, I need time to check it out before 
supporting it.

And, Windows 8 is not popular right now, neither does metro.

Flyingsn..@gmail.com : First of all, thanks for your work.
Followingyour message dating Nov25, 2012:
Have you made progress in your goal of determining whether you can support 
Win8metro+Office2013.
It is better to start now or wait  for "Windows Blue".

Is there any news on this? I'm sure Windows Blue will not be a big change from 
Windows 8. All is it adding is additional features, while keeping Metro!

Any update on this?  The Windows 10 preview is affected by this as well.
