though i like the appearance of the new font somehow, i clearly vote for the (b)old font (and my girlfriend does vote for it as well, so we have two votes from here).
it is far more readable than the normal font. personally, i care more about the readability of the objects than of the text (though i think, that even the text is better readable with the bold font). also, i find it crude to change something, that has been there for years and and many people are used to, without carefully asking opinions of others.
the fact, that many other applications do use normal fonts, doesn't count for me, since most of them use a quite different font and do have a quite different appearance from the pd-gui.
-> hcs: i really appreciate your work on trying to make fonts appear similar on every operatin system. but i think, these two things - same appearance on each os and changing the weight - should be worked out separately, so that nobody feels pretermitted.
my two cents:
[2] bold
roman

expressed gratitude for the switch to the normal weight font.Why not make a vote? Attached are two screenshots, one with Vera bold, one with Vera normal, both on Linux, both on pd-extended 0.40.
Which do you prefer?
