Macbyte does not work with Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8 #32

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
As the title says, at the moment, Macbyte doesn't fully work with Visual Studio 
2012 running on Windows 8. Only part of the visual studio is correctly 
rendered, the rest (mostly the code window) is still being rendered by windows' 
default font rendering engine.
Please see attached screenshot.

VisualStudio newer than 2008 is created with WPF technology which uses a 
individual private font engine other than GDI32.
since mactype only support GDI32 rendering, you won't get vs2010 rendered so 
far.

however, there are parts of vs2010 that is web based or win32 based, you can 
render these parts.

Is there a chance that we can upgrade MacType to rasterize the font in 
VS2010/VS2012/VS2013 ? we love MacType, and can't wait to have it on VS.

I posted the suggestion and question to VS team: 
http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/537271
2-allow-custom-font-rasterize-in-visual-studio-text-

Hope they response, or we have some ideas how to do it in VS text editor.

For VS2012+ you could try this addon:

Not the panacea, but at least it can disable font hinting.

I think this is going to be an even bigger issue now that Microsoft's released 
a free version of Visual Studio.  It's an excellent dev IDE but looking at code 
all day with it's hideous font rendering kills almost all of the appeal.  I 
really hope this is something the MacType team can fix.

Came in here exactly because of the free Visual Studio release and I'm really 
surprised that this is a two-year-old issue.  Has there been any progress?
