Inconsolata is an awesome font, by far the best fixed-font I've seen anywhere. That's why made Pd use it if it can find it. Otherwise it settles on what Tcl/Tk decides to call "courier" (see Tk font docs). set testfonts {"Inconsolata" "Courier New" "Liberation Mono" "FreeMono"
"DejaVu Sans Mono" "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono"}
Why don't you just stick with DejaVu Sans Mono that we all got used to ?
Is the default size of Inconsolata exactly the same character size (6px by 13px) as the default size of DejaVu Sans Mono ?
Then the IEMGUI font size just doesn't follow in a cross-platform way. I had to add the use of my new abstraction [doc_iemfont] so that IEMGUI labels have sizes that match those of standard pd "size 10" text (size 10 according to .pd format and FONT BOMB).
Then I've been told that Pd (41 or 42 ?) for Windows has a default font and font size that make characters not 6 by 13. (I can't verify this now because my Windows partition committed suicide by... deleting its own dll files or something) ... so... ask Jonathan.
