to not get me wrong
i'm NOT trying to push a font design that i like in pd !!! it's just that it would be nice if pd had its own font...
!!! i would be happy to make what ever design !!!
important would be only that it would look 100% the same on every machine (if possible) ...but with bitmap fonts it would be only a matter of screen resolution or are there some performance questions over bitmap fonts?
or is it just me whos looking at too much "useless" details :)

ok, got my first font for pd beta-ready ! (means, all characters should be there and in their place:)
the font has (for beta testing) as internal name "courier". installing in windows:
size compared with win2k initial Courier fonts (number 1 is the MAIN courier font in win2k) : http://www.vju-tv.net/sizes.gif (NORM means that i deletet all "bold" entries in pd.tk)
...here you can see the alpha version in action : http://www.vju-tv.net/virgin.gif (notice the size of math symbols & numbers) (capitols converted to 1pix thick in beta version)
and ofcourse the font (only 8x13pix version, yet) : http://www.vju-tv.net/pd8x13bn.fon
and because its a bitmap font there should be no problems converting crossplatform...
any bugs, nags, comments, wishes... can be sent to huolong@vju.info (i've tested the font only with screen res1024x768)
-andre ps. please tell me what format you need, if FON doesnt work in your platform!
