I am quite pedantic in regard to spacing and aligning of objects. I started to space all objects using ctrl+arrow keys. that way all
objects are spaced like on a grid and always a multiple of 10px away of
each other. I don't know if that should go into a style guide, but for "official" patches like tutorials it could be considered.Yes, I am this way too -- but with font sizes sometimes being different from one platform to the next, and even between extended and vanilla, it's really hard to ensure that things will line up sweetly every time you open it, everywhere.
If font sizes are indeed different on Pd-extended, then that's a
bug. From all my tests, they are pixel-accurate on all three
platforms since 0.39.3. You might have the problem where Tcl/Tk
can't load the fonts properly on GNU/Linux, which is addressed in
this FAQ:http://puredata.info/docs/faq/on-gnu-linux-the-fonts-are-strange-and- or-too-big-or-small
Otherwise, if you are indeed seeing different font/pixel sizes with
Pd-extended 0.40.3 then please file a bug report with as much detail
as possible and an example patch..hc
hans, I think matt was referring to font differences _on vanilla_ bet. different platforms. and font differences bet pdx and vanilla. but english is not my first language, maybe I am wrong... marius.
