I noticed font sizes changed from 0.42 to 0.43 and tried to tweak them back to 0.42-style, by having the new font-size-search code in pd-gui.c actually try to find the font sizes that s_main.c later searches (redundantly) for. I should have done this earlier. If this doesn't break anything it migth be worth rolling out a 0.43-2 just so people don't spend all next year with incorrect font sizes...?

I must say that I much prefer the looks of 0.43-1. Maybe it's just because I got used to it, but the 0.42'ish fonts look too bold to me now. Does this change really have a big impact on patch layout? I didn't notice any for the patches that I tried.

I don't think it affects font style (oldness or font face itself) but just gets the sizes to be closer to 0.42.
I think that if you're on a macintosh, font was boldface in 0.42 and isn't (by default) on 0.43. On linux I don't think that changed from 0.42 to 0.43.

Hi Miller,

I understand that you merely tweaked the width and height parameters, but the result is a bolder appearance anyway. You can clearly see this in the attached screenshots of 0.43-1 vs. current git taken on an Ubuntu 11.04 system.

As long as the box heights remain consistent to the pixel, I don't see a problem with tweaking the fonts. Its a personal preference really, I suppose. 0.43 should be a little more flexible than 0.42 in terms of setting fonts from the command line.
Ultimately, I'd love to see the GUI stuff handled all by Tk, then we will get a scaling/zooming interface for free, and this box size question will go away forever.
