Now when I think of it, when I switched from Pd-extended to Pd vanilla a couple of years ago I was first annoyed by the bigger font size. So it's really just a matter of getting used to it. Just one question: on Windows (and also Linux?) the font weight defaults to bold (as opposed to Pd extended). Is this on purpose and is this the same on MacOS?

It is not the same at all on macOS! And this has also been a matter of dicussion here on the list. That is if we should get them all consistently the same. But before we deal with that, it was necessary to do this part of the process anyway. So after this we can make a decision on that. 

I'm arguing we should have them all with normal weight instead of bold by default. Because it'd be consistent also with Pd Extended and Purr Data. I find bold specially hard on the eyes when checking documentation and help files. I remember there were different points of view, as always, but not that much or strong rejection to making it normal weight. But anyway, this should be a new discussion with as much people involved as possible for the next release.

cheers

 wouldn't t is not on purpose, I'd say this happened 
 
 
Anyway, thanks for the great work!!!

Yes, the sizes are a little smaller/tighter and come from Pd-extended. Things work best with DejaVu Sans Mono so rendering should be the same using the same font. For more info, see: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/159

Note: DejaVu Sans Mono is the default font but it's not currently shipped with or loaded by Pd on Windows yet. There is some extra work needed for this and it seemed important to fix the sizing issues on macOS first. I wrote up some info about the fonts in https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/font/README.txt
 
Also, zooming now works for all guis, the inlets & outlets are the same height, lots of little drawing bugs were fixed (VU scale not completly hidden), etc etc etc.

Hi Christof,

Yes this changes were totally intentional, and are for good IMO, now patches render the same on all platforms!.

They were well tested, see: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/227
