Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:
Did you look at a text file in Pd with this patch? I guess I should have been more clear about where it applies. The Times font only applies to viewing text files in Pd, not to anything else. You cannot change the font size of a text file in Pd. So I spec'ed Times 14 over Courier 12. The font is definitely big enough, and can easily be made bigger if need be. I think that Times works well there because it clearly distinguishes the text files from the patches. Try opening up 2.control.examples/00.INTRO.txt for example. Its a minor change.
It's a big change, if you look at "5.reference/0.INTRO.txt" instead, because all alignment is wrecked there.
Anyway Times is not really good as a screen font because of its Serifs. It's better to use a Sans Serif font on screen (just take a look at any webpage: Nobody is using Serif fonts there except for the "Print Page" preview.)
If there should be a proportional font in Pd, it should be a kind of Sans Serif font like Helvetica or Arial. (Or better yet one of the nice looking Bitstream fonts.)
Ciao
