Mactype: Render problem in JetBrain IDEs (eg. WebStorm)

[AnClark]

After installing the latest version (2017/6/28) of MacType, the font in JetBrains IDEs renders abnormal.
But the previous version of MacType is OK (2016/9/2).

Situation

The top of every character was cut (especially Courier New).

My WebStorm IDE

Written in Chinese, but not hard to understand the code.

[AnClark]

OK, thanks a lot. Those threads work well.

[AnClark]

But my advice is to support JetBrains IDE with a patch distributed together with the latest release of MacType.

Well, my suggestion is making a better version of clipboxfix so that it can be turn on by default :smiley:

[AnClark]

Yeah, waiting for a better release. Cheers!

thanks snowie!

@AnClark @lePig @Nek80 I believe this issue is fixed wit the latest build, can you please let me know if it's working for you now?

[AnClark]

OK, I will install the latest build soon.

Uh-oh, my current version is the newest one with customized "clipboxfix" to all the JetBrains softwares... Should I remove those "clipboxfixes"?

[sammilucia]

@snowie2000 is away for a few days ... just rename any files you replace so you can put them back if you need. This will tell us where the problem is either way for when he gets back 😊

[AnClark]

The problem still exists in other apps based on Java. (e.g. Logisim)

[snowie2000]

@AnClark This is because you're using a HiDPI display with about 200% scale up (I guess), I'll adjust some parameters to better fit it.

[sammilucia]

Hi @AnClark, this should be resolved in beta4 just released 😊 https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/releases/tag/v1.2018.10.19-beta4 can you please give it a go and let us know how you go?

[AnClark]

OK! I will have a try.

[AnClark]

The former release is installed with Windows Installer, but your latest release is using NSIS instead. It may occur some compatibility issues.

[snowie2000]

This new installer will uninstall all the previous ones so there should be no problems in theory.

[sammilucia]

Hi @AnClark ... yes it's not NSIS. It will uninstall the old installer and do its own cleanup. There's nothing to worry about - I've thought of everything!! 😊 Just run it and let it do it's magic

In the extremely rare case where I haven't thought of everything, just let me know and I'll fix it 😊

[AnClark]

New issue: In Registry Mode, MacType cannot automatically apply to all programs (e.g. Explorer), and DirectWrite hack doesn't work. I will go back to the last stable one.

Also I discovered that the two versions didn't use the same installer, causing ↓
