What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. No steps necessary. The new Chrome version just broke MacType.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version of MacType on Windows 8.1 x64
Please provide any additional information below.
I understand that probably nobody is working on this software anymore, but just
in case.

#1, thank you, that solved the problem! Chrome 37 also requires that flag

With DirectWrite disabled, certain Chinese characters (small characters in
SimSun) still won't render as expected under Chrome 37.

It's the same with Japanese. With Directwrite disabled, kana are rendered
properly, but kanji are still rendered as Windows' default.

Windows Registry editing fixed the font thickness issue for me perfectly, we
can tune the font thickness/darkness by calibrating FONTSMOOTHINGGAMMA value to
between 150 and 190 hexadecimal( 336 to 400 decimal )
- START -> RUN -> REGEDIT
- search for FONTSMOOTHINGGAMMA by keying " Ctrl F " ( will automatically take
us to CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Desktop path)
- double-click mouse on FONTSMOOTHINGGAMMA enter anything between 150 and 190
hexadecimal.(the Lower the value, the thicker the fonts.)
- close the REGEDIT tool
- LOGOFF and then LOGON
Now all the fonts are very thick & very dark in Chrome Browser.
But we must make sure that ClearType smoothing is enabled in Windows(
controlPanel -> personalization -> appearance -> Effects -> ClearType smooth
check [ ticked box ] )
OR alternately in RegEdit ...
FONTSMOOTHING=2
FONTSMOOTHINGTYPE=2
FONTSMOOTHINGORIENTATION=1 for LCD-screen, 0 for CRT-screen
