Something that allows the use of tk scaling would be really nice. Then
you could scale the patch and everything would remain proportional.
This would be a really nice way to support all the varying screen
sizes, and it seem to be already built into Tk. It sounds like its a
matter of letting Tk do the box sizing. It'll already handle the fonts
fine if you switch to Tk-style font specs from Xwindows font specs.

This is used for sys_initfromgui() to search for fonts with acceptable size, among the ones TK gave us. Naturally I'd love to throw that out and really select fonts of the desired pixel sizes, once I know a way to get TK to do that...

It looks to me that its for sizing things based on font size, which might be what we need for the boxes..hc

in 's_main.c'

Looks like that is done here (in u_main.tk aka pd.tk):
proc pdtk_pd_startup {version apilist} { global pd_myversion pd_apilist set pd_myversion $version set pd_apilist $apilist
set width1 [font measure -*-courier-bold--normal--8-* x] set height1 [lindex [font metrics -*-courier-bold--normal--8-*]5]
set width2 [font measure -*-courier-bold--normal--10-* x] set height2 [lindex [font metrics -*-courier-bold--normal--10-*]5]
set width3 [font measure -*-courier-bold--normal--12-* x] set height3 [lindex [font metrics -*-courier-bold--normal--12-*]5]
set width4 [font measure -*-courier-bold--normal--14-* x] set height4 [lindex [font metrics -*-courier-bold--normal--14-*]5]
set width5 [font measure -*-courier-bold--normal--16-* x] set height5 [lindex [font metrics -*-courier-bold--normal--16-*]5]
set width6 [font measure -*-courier-bold--normal--24-* x] set height6 [lindex [font metrics -*-courier-bold--normal--24-*]5]
set width7 [font measure -*-courier-bold--normal--36-* x] set height7 [lindex [font metrics -*-courier-bold--normal--36-*]5]
I don't have time to mess with it now, anyone else want to try?

Woo hoo!!!!
Miller, how does PD size object boxes?

Duh, why didn't I remember the -10 thing. Anyway, I tried that,
and it does indeed work! The font sizes are very similar in size on Windows and Mac OS X. But now the problem is that the boxes on Mac OS X a being created too large. I think that this shouldn't be too hard
to figure out, it might just be a matter of replacing all of the Xwindows font specs with { courier -12 bold } Tk-style font specs.It would be great to get this into the upcoming Pd-extended
release..hc
