I'd prefer Tahoma if its easy... Aligment issues are less important than aesthetics for me. Tahoma is very efficient in it's space usage. (The narrow counterpart of the monstrous Verdana)
if it's about space usage ... maybe it would be useful to add a width feature to select bold, narrow, whatever ... current default is bold ...

hi there,
if it's about space usage ... maybe it would be useful to add a width feature to select bold, narrow, whatever ... current default is bold ...
now my growing apple thinking gets into the way of linux thinking :-)
even if you introduce the font+fontsize+fontstyle startup parameters we still need reasonable defaults. handing problems over to the end user is no solution, imho. i am not against that but it does not solve the problem - that seems to be that people are not satisfied with courier (although i personally start to like it more and more - it is quite unique (on the mac))
actually there are some options:
- have it look different on different systems (tahoma is not standard
on mac, so we would need a different default font there)
- have it look the same + use system fonts (that is the current state.
i do not know any fonts beside arial and courier that are standard on win+linux+mac)
- use a specific pd-font. frank's looks quite good i think. this font
has to be free as in beer. although most systems store fonts in specific places there are a lot of apps that come with their own fonts. think of computer games.
maybe we should vote? tomorrow :-)
