mindmanager is a great tool, but it has a bug (or they the devlopers may think it’s a feature) not fixed for years. That is, the fuzzy text problem. Just search mindmanager fuzzy text , there are many results about this bug and some patches for the old versions of mindmanager. Just as what is said from http://forum.us.mindjet.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3060 ,disabling the call to GdipSetTextRenderingHint fixes this bug.
steps to make a patch
1. open a debugger, ex: ollydbg, load mindmanager.
2. break at GdipSetTextRenderingHint (gdiplus.dll!_GdipSetTextRenderingHint@8)
3. when it break down, track the call to it. It’s something like:
00688A2D call 00CC8792 |
goto 00CC8792 , it is something like:
00CC8792 jmp dword ptr ds:[0E5A758h] |
change it to :
retn 8
code bytes: c2 08 00 90 90 90
4. save the modification to mindmanager.exe
5. done, enjoy clear text.
