Hi Hans, Two questions:
- widgets and text appear super tiny on winxp. But when I create a
widget in the tcl shell, say, with "grid [button .b -text Hello]" the font size looks fine. So what exactly is happening in Pd to make
things look too small in windows? (I remember this was a problem with the font bomb but I don't know what the solution was.)
In order to make the patches all look/work the same on all platforms,
Tk scaling is turned off. On Windows, this can mean small fonts, so
you have to use the scaled fonts that are speced in pd-gui.tcl.
- What is the "_" command? I.e.:
button .b -text [_ "Search"]
It marks text for localization. So if, for example, you are using Pd
in German it'll read "suchen" rather then "search".

Hey all,
At the strong urging of Sofy Yuditskaya, I finally wrote up a quick interface for searching the Pd docs using a keyword or a regexp. Its in the form of an 0.43 plugin, so you can just drop it into your user-folder and you should get a "Search" item on the Help menu.
Test it out and let me know how it works for you.
