Well, they're given to TK as "points", but then in s_main.c, a setup routine, glob_initfromgui(), actually searches through the fonts for those closest to the desired _pixel_ size. At tha time I believe TK had no way of specifying pixel size. I'm not sure what the truth is now; you can feed TK negative "point sizes" that are supposed to generate known pixel sizes, but there are at least three dimensions to a font size and I don't know how the single number maps to them. Ugh...

wouldnt this mean that we could do pixel accurate, measurements and finetuning (calibration) on the client to get the desired font size ?
This only applies to distances not specified in pixels.
i made a test and added "tk scaling 1.5" in the beginning of "pd.tk" made a test pacth with all gui objects having font size 10... but it seems to affect only labels, and nmb2 : http://osku.de/allgui.png
So now you know which are the things currently specified in pixels...
that is, almost everything. I don't think "tk scaling" will help us.So that means that the comment font is being specified in pixels
somewhere. That is something that I don't remmeber seeing at all.
AFAIK, all of the font definitions in pd.tk/u_main.tk using point
numbers. Where are the point numbers being converted into pixels?.hc
