Anyone who has ever used a Mac computer will agree that Mac OS or macOS is a beautiful looking operating system. Especially, texts or fonts in Mac OS or macOS look better compared to Windows operating system. The fonts appear better on Mac devices as the font smoothing capability is better in Mac OS or macOS.

There is a similar feature called Clear Type in recent versions of Windows, including Windows 10 and 8, to make the text on the screen look shaper, cleaner and easier to read. The problem is that many users are not aware of this feature (tuned on by default in Windows 10) and complain about blurry fonts without even trying out this Clear Type feature to change default settings.

Users who regularly switch between Mac and PC like to make Windows 10 fonts look like macOS/Mac OS. If you ever wanted to get macOS or Mac OS like smooth font rendering in Windows 10 as well, you can do so by installing a small utility called MacType.

    Useless garbage. Font rendering? Are you fucking joking. This shit just wastes CPU cycles (reduces battery life) for some bullshit placebo nonsense. Wont even be stable since windows constantly updates, this is just going to waste battery life and crash your system for no perceptible gain. Fucking idiots.

    It just makes fonts look different, not any better. fucking clowns

    First of all – don’t install this shitty program. Fonts actually look worse than win10.
    Second – Uninstalling is nightmare – I had to use recovery mode to switch shittype to tray mode, and only than unninstaler worked as planned. If shittype is in registry mode than unninstal will turn off your driver for graphic card.
    What a disaster. Fuck this!

    Should this work in programs (e.g. Word, Chrome) as well as Windows? It doesn’t seem to be working in those programs.

    @ AK,
    Try rebooting once. Is MacType running in system tray?
