I can fix the size difference by adding "-font-size 12" to the startup options or probably by some tcl hacking, but actually I was hoping, that the GUI reqrite would finally allow me to avoid using startup options for basic GUI configuration and behave more like normal software.
BTW I've been using Pd-Extended's Linux/OSX default font size as the basis for all my patches for making my last 400 patches or so. I pretty much expect the standard font size of Pd to become 6 pixels wide and 13 pixels high. Any deviation from that is making it complicated to have patches that look good on any OS and any Pd branch.
You can measure the width of a font by looking at the width difference between [sel] and [pack]. You can measure the height of the font by looking at the height difference between a single-line box and a double-line box. Move one of the two boxes one pixel at a time and see how many 1px moves it take to go from being left-justified to being right-justified, and top-justified to bottom-justified.
