hello mr. Puckette (getting formal here :)
i'm getting serious with this font issue...
so,
- what's your favorite font 4 pd ?
(well, courier seems 2 be the default so i could make a "cleaned" screen version) [but because courier is an "old'n VERY used" font, i would love to design an unigue PD font]
- i need to know the font sizes to use, in pixels !!! ?
(for easyness, you can send me a screen shot using all font sizes)
2b. maybe a poll what font sizes people mostly use...
- are you planning 2 use "all" characters of ascii table ?
(well, in german im missing Ä&Ö etc for gem)
- will the screen sizes be a problem (ie. win/mac use different sizes?)
(if yes, i can do a seperate mac version)
is it possible to "load" the font from pd directory (eg. not installing the fonts)
am i wastin my time with this (and it would be only me using this font)?
(i need info on BITMAP fonts that linux & mac nativly use) [linux = prc ?] [mac = ?]
...
why do i do this? because:
- that the patches look 100% the same on every os
- those "vector" fonts are NOT good 4 ANY computer program
- i kinda love interface design :)
...i WILL do this font, even if im the only1 to use it :)
cheers -andre
