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?

1) Purr Data in Mac Os with DejaVu lloks like Vanilla with Monaco in MacOs!

2) Purr Data with DejaVu in Mac Os looks like Extended with DejaVu in Windows

3) 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
