Folks,

I have tried several WM6.1 ROMs but none have clear type working after tweaking in landscape. Can anyone inform me of a ROM that does have this feature working.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Unfortunately all of the WM 6.1 "official" ROMs are affected by the cleartype bug. If you want to run 6.1 with cleartype, you will need to flash an older "leaked" ROM that is based off of an older build.

Dutty's Hybrid V2 will work with landscape and clear type.

No it's pure WM6.1....but they are just not pure Kaiser WM6.1 ROM's. They are both ported from another device. :)

Hmz, I havn't had any problems with the 6.1's. But the 6.1 diamond ones I've noticed this bug.

Even though the 6.1 ROMS have the ClearType bug, It wasn't really meant to work well in landscape anyways. ClearType relies on the physical layout of the pixels, which are positioned in such a way that in portrait mode it can have a great effect. In landscape mode it looks far less appealing, but thats not a software correctable issue, its a physical issue.

i forget which .dll i replaced a while back that fixed the cleartype issue and didnt mess anything else up to bad. i understand the limitation of the actual pixels BUT if it worked once it can work again is the way i look at it.

austinsync, It would be really helpful if you remembered which DLL file that was. The cleartype bug is the only thing holding me, and I'm sure others as well, back from using the new ROMs that are coming out.

FWIW ... ClearType isn't just sub-pixel font rendering, so while you'll get the best results from a standard horizontal RGB pixel layout, it works in just about any orientation.

The point of ClearType was about increasing the effective resolution of type, not just anti-aliasing. Even in landscape mode, ClearType still makes fonts more readable.

Cleartype on landscape mode works on the new WM 6.1 official ROMs while you're typing a message, so it was intended to work, but they introduced a bug that makes text on menus and text fields dissapear.
Older leaked official ROMs have this working too, basically, any ROM before April 2008. This is a bug introduced on recent builds, while trying to speed-up the display.
