Ok, seems we have yet another thread to keep discussing a same topic that I kinda started. Anyway, if the focus of the debate has changed indeed, I suggest changing the thread name and adding (was: "xxxx" <= old thread subject), in this case: (was: (wip) Preferences file).
So, I did bring this up, how patches look differently in vanilla according to the operating system, and how they look different from extended / purr data (which, on their own, look consistent in all platforms and also look like each other!).
Changing the font metrics from Vanilla to extended's/purr data's doesn't compromise the patch as the other way around does. Cause opening extended patches in the vanilla's metrics does compromise the visual experience a lot, creating all sorts of overlaps... I already pointed this out in the previous threads.
So, keeping it objective and not to repeat myself too much, I consider this an issue, an undesired behaviour, a bug, whatever, and I hope we could fix it. Any opposition? What is the best way to do this?
cheers

Ok, if that's the case then I would suggest not to add a user-facing
font-metrics option.
+1
i'd also like to add, that we should not (ever) add an option with the
sole purpose of working around bugs.
Is it a bug?
if you consider the slightly different font sizes a bug (and i gather
you do), then we should find a solution to the bug itself (rather than provide an easy way to make everything worse).
Yes.
if you only consider them an annoyance, you might want to investigate in
creating a gui-plugin that fixes the problem.
We have a problem.
(it seems that currently, Pd-gui signals the font metrics back to
Pd-core, which will (among other things) trigger Pd-core to load it's libraries. it might be worth entangling *that*)
Yes, I cant override or change the variable “font_metrics” set @ line 127 from “pd-gui.tcl” using a gui-plugin.
Is it posible?
I still think that shipping dejavu and hard-code Pd-extended metrics is full of goodness.
