It's hilarious - there's exactly one aspect of Pd run-time semantics that depends on screen location -- inlets/outlets of subpatches are numbered in left-to-right order on teh screen. To to thins someone has to call gobj_getrect() on the inlet/outlet, which then not only has to report the northwest corner but the entire rectangle, which depends on font size.
Anyway, yes, I'm fixing a couple of bugs and will change that -- it sounds quite safe to me.

Hi, A recent thread on Pd Everywhere suggests that the function rtext_senditup in g_rtext.c sometimes divides by a font width. This causes occasional crashes because the font width may be 0 when running with the nogui flag: http://noisepages.com/groups/pd-everywhere/forum/topic/any-issues-with-subpa...
This raises a couple of questions: First, why does any part of the code look at font properties at all when nogui is set? Second, how do we fix this?
I suppose the best solution would be to make sure that font properties are never queried when nogui is set. In the meantime, a quick fix might be to modify the initialization of sys_fontlist (s_main.c, lines 126-128), setting fi_hostfontsize, fi_width, and fi_height equal to one. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Cheers, Peter
