Enough ClearType! Go GDI++!

Did you ever want to replace the ugly ClearType with something better? I know I have. And my prayers have been answered - meet GDI++ - the solution to all your font problems. Enough words, see it in action (this is Verdana, btw):

ClearType vs. GDI++

ClearType vs. GDI++

Well, I think that the difference is pretty obvious. So if you are ready to start you new font life - go here and download the file named gdi0870.zip (404kb). Extract anywhere you want and launch gditray.exe. Choose 'enable' from the context menu of the tray icon and voila - your font are rendered without the help of that ugly, ugly ClearType.
