Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: feature Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 8 Private: No Submitted By: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Assigned to: Miller Puckette (millerpuckette) Summary: font/box size overhaul with properties panel clean-up
Initial Comment:
This patch includes everything from branch-v0-39-2-extended to make the fonts and boxes the same size on every platform.
The default font is changed to Monaco on Mac OSX (included with the OS) and Bitstream Vera Sans Mono on Windows and GNU/Linux (included with GNOME). The font is free as in speech and beer, so it can be distributed with any Pd package.
The iemgui properties panels were also changed to reflect the new fonts, plus they were cleaned up a bit to make them more readable.
It applies cleanly, builds and seems to work fine on 0.40.3 and 0.41.0-test04.

I have an Ubuntu box, and I saw this too. It only happens on GNU/Linux, 10 and 12 are different sizes on Windows and Mac OS X. I had it fixed for the Pd-0.39.2-extended, but the font handling changed on 0.41, and I didn't figure out how to adapt the new font handling. My guess is that the font measurement code works different on GNU/Linux, so it's chosing a different font.
The workaround is to do some kind of ifdef for GNU/Linux and force the font size for the one that's sized wrong. That's how I did it on Pd-0.39.2-extended.

This did something funny on my machine (fedora 6). "10" and "12" show up with the same font size, and/but boxes sized differently (in 12 point, not fitting the un-enlarged text). I'll bring the machine to Montreal so we can look...
