hi miller,
as i said before i would LOVE to do fontz for PD. they would be BITMAP fonts so they would be better to calculate !!!
the attachment is a test that i've made today... (pd0.35-test23)
left; my "new courier new" bitmap 6x11pix middle; my fav "noname" bitmap 6x11pix right; original ms "courier new" truetype 10pt
cheers -andre btw. is that a dumm idea to make numbers bold ?

OK... actually I was trying to save a couple of pixels to make everything
a
bit more compact. But it seems this was misguided.
I don't know to what extent one can count on font metrics either... I suppose I'll just have to try this.
cheers Miller

hi Andre... and Miller,
I am getting the same result with out-of-the-box courier font!
The change in test24 is to have the top margin in object boxes, i.e. the top border/text separation (#defined as TMARGIN in g_rtext.c), one pixel high, instead of three pixel as in the previous versions. Apparently this is an attempt to somehow unify the look of text objects, atoms and nbxes...
Well, what I think is this. There should be two pixels of top margin (an extra pixel for the inlets), and perhaps a bit more flexible dealing with the bottom margin in gatoms -- symbol gatom need to be spaced just like any text object box (two pixels of bottom margin), while number gatoms need to subtract -descent value taken from the font metrics and add the 2-pixel margins, instead of using full -linespace plus 1-pixel top and 0-pixel bottom margins.
But maybe I should keep quiet, because I have no idea whether one can actually rely on values returned by "font metrics" command...?

i was designing a minifont for pd [fontmatrix 5x7pixel] as i updated
to
pd0.35-test24 i saw this... please, make the boxes how they where ! because (ms)courier font has much empty space [hardcoded] over the
font
it's not so noticable as with this font...
