Re: [PD-dev] pd's font type

Hallo, Reini Urban hat gesagt: // Reini Urban wrote:

I'd prefer Tahoma if its easy... Aligment issues are less important than aesthetics for me. Tahoma is very efficient in it's space usage. (The narrow counterpart of the monstrous Verdana)

Both don't come with Linux and they are not allowed to be redistributed (see http://tinyurl.com/4wyt8) anymore (see http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ on that special "hack" for Verdana, but not Tahoma).

The change Tim commited just will allow you to specify the font to use yourself, so you don't have to use Verdana, and I can carry on to use Courier (or "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Bold 10", which is my favourite fixed width font and it's a free as in speech font.).

Ciao
