GDI rendering completely broken in v3.2.4.23

[DoesntMatter]

There is no need. Try increase this gammavalue in MacType，may be helpful, espesially F12 console tabs.

Code:

[General@chrome.exe]

GammaValue=1.5

A lot of people is waiting for default settings, not your personal introduced in last releases. And by Option in Browser, not by third party software.
So please stop speak for us if only you satisfied with new one.

Much better in 3.4.3.25 Beta. Still need option to change gamma value.

Is the font displayed too black/thick under current gamma value?
You can post a screenshot to show how it looks like.

This is getting ridicuolous. After installing 3.2.4.23 and trying to match what I had before, I got close with it. BUT Developer Console tabs and Chrome's UI text is even worse now.

Seems there are 3 different configurations for the text rendering in the code.
1 - For the UI
2 - For the content
3 - For the Developer Console tabs (And whatever else)

Also I guess whatever you did wasn't just a simple gamma change because adjusting gamma alone wasn't going to fix. I had to play with the contrast also.

@CentBrowser

Can you dig that code and unite these together? Would that be possible? Or would it break stuff?

Going back to 3.0.4.29 once again.

Is there any plans about this issue? Before the gamma change, I could get the content look decent, but the rest (UI, dev tabs, and whatever else) wouldn't match. And that wouldn't bother me at all. But now, whatever I do with MacType's configuration, those 3 aspects I listed are even worse with the new "gamma" change.

You stop speaking for yourself! He uses MacType and you don't, you don't even know what MacType is, what turn DW off for.

Let me be clear, I don't care whether there is an option about Gamma if you guys need it, I just hope Cent not to go back to the damn gray text.

I said those "no need" because some of you used MacType and I Know MacType much much better than you. The new Gamma is OK without MacType, so any problem with MacType due to unproper configuration.

If you think the text is not OK without MacType, post screenshots because I can't reproduce the so called grey text, maybe the moderator too.

As to this problem itself, UI/ Web page / Console renders a different way, maybe there are independent Gamma values which are need to be corrected, we'd better make it right instead of changing the globle Gamma.

Hi!

Assessment of quality of fonts is subjective. Fonts in v3.2.4.23 to me seem excessively black and greasy. Fonts in 3.3.2.15 me seem better, pages opens in this version quicker.

It's weird, there is no differences about text rendering between this 2 versions. Maybe it's due to font bugs in 3.2.4.23.

I think the effect is acceptable.
It is similar to Firefox.

Bad news. It is not similar to Firefox (screenshot attached), it is similar to.. nothing. Even Chrome with directwrite looks better.
Check this at 100% scale: https://i.imgur.com/8pUZT38.png
Any browser now looks better than Cent without directwrite.
So please add checkbox/commandline/anything for text rendering like in 3.0.4

Even if you don't want to crowd the settings page, you can make it a switch like ...\chrome.exe --default-gamma

But that wouldn't work on links clicked on other applications.
