ok, made some progress, I did screw up in the flag, but now I'm using it right, I just can't seem to get "DejaVu Sans Mono" called, it's loading courier instead

so, installed "deja vu sans mono" in my mac... tried using the flag -font-face <name>

nothing happened, just got an error that proved I may not have used the flag right, what should I do?

Hi Alex,

>I just hoped we could make vanilla laod the same fonts in all platforms and that patches would all look the same as in Purr Data, what's preventing it from happening?

To put it fast and dirty but not incorrect:

Purr Data uses web-browser technology to do the GUI. Basically a Chrome browser. That’s why you see that fonts are rendered the same across Oss.

Check NW.js:

https://nwjs.io/

On the other hand, it sounds that you are saying that if a vanilla patch does not look as how you see it in your Mac is “bad”.

Vanilla is not shipping “deja vu sans mono”,

Can you give screen-shots with this font installed on your Mac?

May be your patches render the same as Linux & Windows.

And remember the startup flags:

-font-size <n>     -- specify default font size in points

-font-face <name>  -- specify default font

-font-weight <name>-- specify default font weight (normal or bold)
