now, since we're talking about "Dejas Vu", I'm also having a Deja Vu of my own... it's not the first time I complain things look different, but then someone ends up saying I needed to do something else in order to test it... as it happened in this discussion a few months ago https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/42

and I did ask if the idea is to be compatible to old extended (and purr data), and I seem to have been able to test, at one point, that it actually did and I couldn't be happier.

But I also thought that, at this point, compiling from that branch would give me that result out of the box.

So, did I miss something or not?

cheers

So, i just built from https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/tree/dejavu and tested here on my mac. It looks good alright, seems to render better and stuff, but it isn't backwards compatible, seems to require more real estate for texts and all (object size and the like) - see attachment.

So it doesn't really render the same as in purr data, like you say. That actually looks the same as the current pd state, as well as old pd extended.

As much as I like the idea of having a new cross platform bahaviour for pd, I was hoping it'd be the same as purr data and all... also that I wouldn't have to reformat over 300 help patches I'm working on, plus my tutorials which is quite numerous as well - not to mentio regular patches/abstractions.

cheers

@IOhannes:

>it seems that i remember dan (or was it miller) pointing to the newly

introduced zoom feature which complicates things a bit more. and dynamic

font managing. and what not. (probably check the archives)

the conclusion for me is: there *are* downsides.


The zoom feature will work with the correct doubles from pdx metrics, this are the actual doubles of vanilla:

set font_zoom2_metrics {
    12 20
    14 26
    18 32
    20 42
    30 50
    50 90
}

Does *downside* to you is having a little more white space?

Pdx font metrics wont break vanilla patches.
