hy not make a vote? Attached are two screenshots, one with Vera
bold, one with Vera normal, both on Linux, both on pd-extended 0.40.
Which do you prefer?
[ ] normal.png [ ] bold.png
- i vote normal, the bold looks way too heavy to me. reading the
comment text in bold makes my eyes spaz.
Yeah, things look bad in those screenshots. I am not sure of Frank's
setup. I'll do more testing on GNU/Linux. Also, those PNGs are an
odd format (16bit?) so they were behaving strangely on my computer.
I converted them to gifs and they look better. Also, I have added
some screenshots from Mac OS X, where the fonts are anti-aliased:
*File not found!*
The URL you have loaded has not been found on this server.
Please alert the system administrator if you believe you have reached this in error.
Since there is obviously some demand for bold fonts, I added a new
flag that allows you to set the font weight from the command line or
pd-settings file. The flag is "-weight" and it expects either "bold"
or "normal". Also, for those who don't like Bitstream Vera Sans
Mono, there is the "-typeface" flag. Should be in tomorrows auto- builds.
won't this make the patches render at different sizes depending on your choice of font? so now if i want to open frank's GOP patchs and have them render right i have to remember to turn on the bold flag, which then makes all my patches render wrong?
