MacType: Better Font Rendering for Windows

MacType works nice on the surface, but using it feels like a bit of a minefield, because if it interacts incorrectly with one of your programs, it can be an annoyance, and because you've gotten used to the font rendering, you might not immediately realize. When playing Riot's VALORANT, it caused massive lag spikes - and that was before I started worrying about the anticheat.

Indeed. It seems to inject code into every process on the system. That increases the risk to the system more than any typical standalone program.

While MacType's delivery method is wild, Valorant anti-hack is a problem, and normalizing that sort of thing is also a problem.

Riot games is a bunch of arrogant cowboys who think they know better than everyone else, yet somehow other folks have managed to make anti hack systems that are just as effective and much less intrusive.

You can unload dll in the settings.json

Perhaps it was a typo, but actually one can unload dll in the .ini config file.
