hi all ...
i'm curious, if i shall add the code to set the font type to devel_0_38. since the change from courier to tahoma was done by accident and courier is back in devel_0_37 and 38, i'm curious, if someone would actually use the feature to set the default font from the command line ...
if no one asks for that feature until tomorrow evening, i won't add it ...
cheers ... tim

maybe some other fonts should be available in this feature besides "courier" and "tahoma" ?
since the fontsize never appeared standardized anyway (different resolutions, operating systems), this feature is surely a benefit for those, who want to use it. m.

ok, it's in it ...

At pd~conf, we discussed making a cross-platform standard font, so that
pixel coords would be the same cross-platform. I believe Miller said
that he was planning on doing that relatively soon...

The Bitstream fonts like the Vera family (name probably intentionally hints at Verdana) are free, open source fonts, which could be a good default for Pd, IMO: http://www.bitstream.com/font_rendering/products/dev_fonts/vera.html http://www.gnome.org/fonts/
They are ttf fonts, which is pretty standard now on most operating systems.

And I attached a diff against pd-0.37's Linux pd.tk, which lets you try it out. It's a bit tricky to search and replace "courier" with "bitstream vera sans mono" as there are quotes needed around the whole font name but I did it and now it's a patch.
btw: this is the vim command I used (one line): :%s/-*-courier-bold--normal--(\d+)-*/"-*-bitstream vera sans mono-bold--normal--\1-*"/gc
