Based on what Matt told you for OSX:

./pd -font-face "DejaVu Sans Mono" 

And for not bold will be:

./pd -font-face "DejaVu Sans Mono" -font-weight normal

But “-font-weight normal” can be set on pd`s startup pref.

Sorry I mistook-it for the right one, is dejavu not bold.

Yes, I agree, probably there are more patches done on Extended than Vanilla.


Please test the “pd-gui.tcl” to see if is that easy to change Vanilla behavior.


Specially on OSX as it apparently always used Monaco. Force it to use Dejavu.

We can leave out “Extended”, and we can ask Jonathan to make Purr-Data look as Vanilla.


here's my reasoning, the issue now is that vanilla is stretching the text a lot, making the text go over and outside the patch area as in many of my help files. So this is the visual issue, things like objects, GUIs and text may overlap in vanilla if a patch was done in extended for instance (and there are still plenty of those around).

On the other hand, old patches from vanilla won't suffer any issue with the text and fonts getting narrower, it'll still look nice. So i vote that vanilla gets to make such changes for the advantage of keeping the Pd environment more cohesive.
