What is your preferred font?
Curt:
- I also have re-booted but still don't see any difference worth mentioning. So now I am the one asking, what should I be looking for?
And, do you have ClearType as well?
Edited:
Looking inside some text files has made me see one of the improvements:
Courier New 10 is A LOT nicer now!

I think gdipp initially screws up some stuff on your computer. there's a lot of flickering, errors, weird problems. But then they go away. Almost like it's rendering for the first time, and once it does it, things are ok.

Curt, is it working for you yet? I had to manually start the services on my Win7 x64 before the new rendering engine kicked in.
For anyone else curious I'm attaching a screenshot from Iron, other programs all look similar.
What is your preferred font?
Sure does feel like I'm on Linux all of a sudden :D. Needless to say I'll be uninstalling it ASAP. I can appreciate it may just be that I'm too accustomed to the Windows style of font rendering, but all the dodgy spacing/kerning that can be seen in the screenshot just looks very inelegant to me.
Curt:
-as far as I can(not) understand, any effect of gdipp also has to do with what type of monitor I am using? Mine is a LCD screen from the previous century, named Eizo FlexScan L360, (a TFT type, I am told). Very hype back then, but now just very old.
