Effective code injection for Snow Leopard 64-bit apps?

In Mac, Programming on 28 August 2009 tagged 1password, 64-bit, cocoa, dyld, inject, simbl, snowleopard with 1 comment

Recently I’m looking for a way to make Safari AdBlock support Safari in 64-bit. 64-bit apps stopped loading Input Manager bundles, so it is impossible to use SIMBL in 64-bit apps either.

Snow Leopard 在字体方面的变化

字体反锯齿选项不再允许选择 hinting 的程度 (以前可以选择 Medium, Light, etc.)，现在似乎默认就是 Medium，不能改，很奇怪 (我个人习惯用 Light 的)。 原来 Mac OS 独有的 dfont 字体格式被抛弃了，改用 ttc (TrueType Collection) 格式替代。 uncia:~ jjgod$ ls /Library/Fonts/*.ttc /Library/Fonts/AmericanTypewriter.ttc /Library/Fonts/GillSans.ttc /Library/Fonts/Baskerville.ttc /Library/Fonts/HelveticaCY.ttc /Library/Fonts/Chalkboard.ttc /Library/Fonts/Hoefler Text.ttc /Library/Fonts/Cochin.ttc /Library/Fonts/MarkerFelt.ttc /Library/Fonts/Copperplate.ttc /Library/Fonts/Optima.ttc /Library/Fonts/Didot.ttc /Library/Fonts/Papyrus.ttc /Library/Fonts/Futura.ttc /Library/Fonts/STHeiti Medium.ttc uncia:~ jjgod$ ls /System/Library/Fonts/*.ttc /System/Library/Fonts/Courier.ttc /System/Library/Fonts/Menlo.ttc /System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.ttc /System/Library/Fonts/STHeiti Light.ttc /System/Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeue.ttc /System/Library/Fonts/Times.ttc /System/Library/Fonts/LucidaGrande.ttc iPhone OS [...]
