You need to run this for each bitmap sizes (typically from 7 to 22) to remove all bitmaps, which is rather clumsy if typing by hand. The command syntax is as below SBIT32 -d After that extract the SBIT32 tool which is needed to remove the EBDT (Embedded bitmap data table). Now you to download the FontTools from Microsoft Typography. After that you can see all the ttf files in the ttc are extracted as FONT00.ttf ~ FONTxx.ttf Open a command prompt in the folder you copied the fonts to and type BREAKTTC msgothic.ttc. Standard antialiasing after stripping bitmapsĬopy the fonts files you need to strip, for example msgothic.ttc, from \Windows\Fonts into a folderĭownload the BREAKTTC tool from MS TrueType SDK.No antialiasing with bitmap font (default for Japanese characters less than 23pt).The steps to do is quite long so please find it at the end.

You need some Japanese ability to read it but you can also read the rough translation from Google. More on this: How To Make Windows Fonts Look Like Mac FontsĪ better option is stripping all those bitmaps off according to this tutorial.

Update: The latest Mactype already has better DirectWrite support On Google Chrome you need to disable DirectWrite to make it work It will just skip those bitmaps and use the outlines to output smooth characters.īut currently Mactype cannot emulate DirectDraw calls, so some programs that use DirectDraw/DirectWrite (such as MS office 2013, IE7+, Firefox…) still have aliased fonts, but this is quite rare.

Mactype is an open source replacement (among others, but right now it's the most updated) for Windows font renderer based on FreeType. These bitmaps cannot be applied any type of smoothing, so it results in a crazily ugly aliasing, eye hurting appearance. The problem is that traditional Japanese fonts (MS Gothic, MS PGothic, MS Mincho…) also include bitmap fonts in small sizes in addition to outline ones (typically for characters 22pt and less).
