Do not install mactype on those latest versions of windows, you will have a GSOD : CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

dptr commented 6 years ago

hope to fix it soon...

baris1892 commented 6 years ago

Thanks for mention this, otherwise I would have installed it on W10 1803. Will this issue be fixed in near future?

rudolphos commented 6 years ago

Last update was last year. Will there be an update this year? Few days ago I uninstalled mactype, because fonts were crashing - disappearing letters, etc. Restarting explorer didn't help.

FIxed in 17686.

@rudolphos @snowie2000 was working on an update and there are some recent commits but I don't think there is a release planned.

snowie2000 commented 6 years ago

@IceMan81 Actually I am working on it for a long time. The real problem is not with mactype itself. it's with the loader. To solve the compatibility issue with Windows 10, I disabled MacType for a lot of processes. To continue to capture newly created processes and provide a smooth rendering experience without hooking into certain key processes, a new loader with a new process detection mechanism is needed. The problem is that the old sources of MacTray weren't written with this in mind, I have to change several codes to accomplish it and since I haven't touched the code for a while, you guessed it, I can't read it very well. 😂

IceMan81 commented 6 years ago

@snowie2000 That's quite understandable.

You had mentioned before about a beta build that you were testing. Is that in any form that we can test? Of course with all the caveats of it being a beta..

kailiu42 commented 6 years ago

I switched to white list mode (see https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/issues/244) and only render some GUI programs that I absolutely need better font looking, such as Firefox, Chrome, Outlook etc. Everything works fine on 1803, no stability issue so far.

Hey @kraml @alxtr1bal @dptr @rudolphos @IceMan81 EasyHook has been updated in the latest beta here, https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/releases/tag/1.2018.917.0-beta2 - can you please let us know if the problem is fixed for you?

kailiu42 commented 6 years ago

Updated to https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/releases/tag/1.2018.917.0-beta2 and reverted back normal(non-whitelist) mode, so far so good.

sammilucia commented 6 years ago

Thanks @kraml ! 😊 closing issue as resolved.

alxtr1bal commented 6 years ago

Thanks Noticed some problems on the latest skip ahead (18247) : context menu with tray icon won’t open (beta 2 test)

sammilucia commented 6 years ago

thanks @alxtr1bal ... do they open without MacType?

What mode are you running MacType in?

alxtr1bal commented 6 years ago

It’s just with the Mac type tray icon No big deal though

snowie2000 commented 6 years ago

It’s just with the Mac type tray icon No big deal though

It's a deadlock bug with MacTray.exe and has been solved. But there are still some bugs left to the tray app besides the deadlock problem.

sammilucia commented 5 years ago

Hi @alxtr1bal can you please test beta 4 (https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/releases/tag/v1.2018.10.19-beta4) and let us know how you go?

sammilucia commented 5 years ago

Closing as unanswered. This issue will be obvious if it still exists with beta4

alxtr1bal commented 5 years ago

I confirm tray Issue is fixed in beta4

snowie2000 commented 5 years ago

Thank you @alxtr1bal
