Hi, I've been updating and fixing cyclone/comment and I realized Pd loads similar but different fonts depending on the operating system. I looked closely and, for instance, if you have a label font for a iemgui (such as a slider) with "helvetica", it will look a bit differently in Linux, and it seems this is because Linux loads a similar but not actually 'helvetica'? I don't know, I'm confused, I'm asking.

So, it seems the only way to guarantee things will look exactly the same is if you have 'DejaVu Sans Mono', cause now Pd loads this very same font indeed for all operating systems, right? For that matter, I updated whole of cyclone's documentation so it loads 'DejaVu Sans Mono' for all cyclone/comment objects.

Now a question about loading fonts that concerns cyclone/comment. If I ask it load a font name that it is not present, it will load some default font and I just don't really know which one it is. How can I find out? It seems this 'default' font is also different for each operating system. How can I find out?

Thanks
