I went ahead and created a wiki page: https://github.com/pure-data/ pu re-data/wiki/Crossplatform-font-metrics-&-comparisons
You can post pictures there and write in Markdown. It should be publicly editable.
Thanks for creating the page. I added screenshots of t-metrics.pd for Ubuntu 16.04.
Added t-metrics.pd screenshots for Windows 10. Boxes sizes are consistent through all tests, it seems.
I remember that I went nuts last time when I tried to fiddle with font metrics trying to get consistent box sizes between Windows and Ubuntu. I only realize now that I wasn't using the same font on both sides. DUH!! Things are a bit easier once the same font is used.
Is there the slightest chance of Pd on Windows using DejaVu without the user having to install it first?
