  • Looking for a character map program that will allow me to explore a font without installing it on my system.
    The font-viewer that is part of font-manager can do it. Source: almost 2 years ago

  • Text Fringing? looks bad on the new Samsung OLED G9...
    Download Mactype. If you download the beta version (warning: it will trip windows defender) you can use one of the QD-OLED profiles, if you download the last stable version (has an installer and will not trip Windows defneder), use a grayscale rendered font like this one. It doesn't work on chromium browsers though so you're gonna have to use Firefox if you want it to be on your browser. Source: 10 months ago
  • [HUB] One YEAR Using The Alienware AW3423DW QD-OLED - My Thoughts
    Already supported in WPF and DirectWrite. AFAIK DirectWrite by default only uses y-axis at large font sizes. I think MacType enables it system-wide. Source: almost 1 year ago
  • [Oled_Gaming] Bessere Textwiedergabe für OLED-Displays (ClearType loswerden)
    Step 2: Install it from the MacType homepage, it is an open-source project so it seems safe to me. I recommend installing it in "Load with MacTray" -> "Standalone Mode". Source: about 1 year ago
  • Recently got Windows 11, is there a way to fix this? The squished font looks terrible.
