 * Comment: Hi, I hope the following articles can help:

 * Comment: Are these reliable sources? They're all in Japanese, so I can only use Google translate, but they seem to be descriptive reviews and don't strongly assert its notability. Mention of the software in an article that contains more than descriptive/promotional copy would be more substantial, as would mention in a magazine article falling under editorial review. --R.S.

 * Comment: Thank you for your reply. I did some search and found these:
 * http://geekchunk.com/operating-systems/use-gdipp-or-mactype-to-get-mac-or-linux-style-font-smoothing-in-windows/ This article mentions and compares GDI++ and MacType.
 * http://tech.sina.com.cn/s/2011-03-24/18311694262.shtml (Chinese) This Q&A page mentions compatibility of Internet Explorer 9 and MacType.
 * http://www.geekpark.net/read/view/157288 (Chinese) This review article of Kindle and iPad compares their font rendering technology to MacType. The article was reposted on the 163 website and cnBeta (the link no longer works though).
