Did you read my messages?
I need your results on All OS.
Download:

extract “pd-gui.tcl” and overwrite your existing one on the Tcl folder.
Backup the originals or rename them to “ORIGINAL-pd-gui.tcl” before overwriting.
Restart Pd.
Give us screen-shots on All Oss.

Attached Screen-shot,
Note that the modified .tcl is using bold font, but you can imagine the normal font.

Ok Alex,
I got some good news to you, but not to everybody.
You can make vanilla look-like extended. You have to tweek “pd-gui.tcl”.
The .tcl from “extended” had these lines:
# sizes of chars for each of the Pd fixed font sizes: # fontsize width(pixels) height(pixels) set font_fixed_metrics { 8 5 11 9 6 12 10 6 13 12 7 16 14 8 17 16 10 19 18 11 22 24 14 29 30 18 37 36 22 44 }
And vanilla has these:
# sizes of chars for each of the Pd fixed font sizes: # width(pixels) height(pixels) set font_metrics { 6 10 7 13 9 16 10 21 15 25 25 45 }
Backup your “pd-gui.tcl” somewhere & then edit the one you are using with these values:
set font_metrics { 5 11 6 13 7 16 8 17 15 25 25 45
We are modifying just the first four from extended, 8, 10 12 & 14 (14 should be 16 btw).
Please test it on all Oss.
I have tested it on mswindows with dejavu bold with coll-help from your git.
Salutti, Lucarda

I also opened an issue in Purr Data about this https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data/issues/258

2017-02-11 21:40 GMT-02:00 Alexandre Torres Porres <porres@gmail.commailto:porres@gmail.com>: well... not sure if something important was clear enough, let me say again, in windows, Pd Extended came and loaded DejaVu Sans Mono!
well, I'm referring to this message when I tried to point out for the second time about this issue with print screens - I got an answer as if I was stating the obvious and making several pointless remarks, but then I also had tried a third time to make this clear and then a fourth attempt on a different thread... this has been a fifth time, and, well, this is my Last Ditch Effort in raising this issue...
In Extended, the font still looks ok and nice, it doesn't corrupt the visuals in the patch, it's only in vanilla that things get screwed up
see?
here, let me show you 2 print screens, a patch in Extended that looks a lot like the Mac Os version with Monaco, that looks also reasonably the same as Purr Data in every platform, and how vanilla in windows with dejavu sans got screwy... in the same way as in linux...
ok? clear now? I'm sending those print screens again, and I'm including a third print from Purr Data and a fourth with vanilla on Mac Os with Monaco, hope it is clear now...
so, again, this is:
- vanilla with DejaVu in windows;
- Extended with DejaVu in windows;
- Purr Data with DejaVu in Mac Os
- Vanilla with Monaco in Mac Os
What are we seeing here?
- Purr Data in Mac Os with DejaVu lloks like Vanilla with Monaco in MacOs!
- Purr Data with DejaVu in Mac Os looks like Extended with DejaVu in Windows
- Vanilla in Windows with DejaVu looks like something else...
My point, once again, is that there's a consistency between Pd-Extended and Purr Data, but things get complicated when Pd Vanilla comes in... things do not look the same in vanilla and the others even with the same fonts!
cheers
