Not working for IE7/Sogou Explorer?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hey guys, this project is wonderful, but still I'm experiencing some small 
problems on my computer.

I'm using sogou explorer from time to time, and I find that mactype never 
renders its webpages when it's switched to IE compatible mode. As far as I 
know, they are using IE 7 as their IE core.

I'm running on: Win7 Ultimate
Mactype mode: Mactray privileged compatible mode
Mactype version: 2012.1022

Please feel free to contact me if further details on my system is need. I'd 
love to help improve this project. Thanks.

sogou uses the ie core that your system uses, which means if you have ie9/10 
installed, sogou IE compatible is exactly the same as ie9/10.

since mactype doesnot support DirectWrite right now, all IE compatible mode in 
all browsers are not supported either.

I see. I must be running on IE9, then. 

Does supporting DirectWrite mean you'll need to overwrite the DX API for text 
rendering? That would be huge amount of work, as I can imagine...

Yes, I need to take over quite amount of DX APIs to do the rendering.
And it seems Microsoft left some bugs in DirectWrite API which makes the work 
even harder....
