Just to know what we are up against with the font size problem, I have started a patch to document all the key parts. Please try it on your machine to see if my measurements are correct. Also, please fill in any that you are running.
Could you elaborate a bit how this patch is supposed to be used? In which regard should the fonts in the upper half line up: vertically, height, horizontal lenght? Or just "in general"?
If the sizing was all working nicely, the fonts would line up exactly
on the top section when both are set to 10 point since they are the
same font. That is what we are trying to achieve. But that doesn't
happen very much.
So here are the three tests, from the top to bottom:
- top: adjust the font size in the canvas until it matches the
message box. Move the message box over the canvas font so it lines up
it exactly. Mark down the font size in the canvas. If you can't get
an exact match, write (closest)
- middle: copy and paste one of the canvases with the dimensions in
it (e.g. 69x16). Take this canvas and make it fit exactly over the
[courier10( message box. then put it in the right place in the grid.
- bottom: copy and paste one of the canvases with the dimensions in
it (e.g. 53x6). Take this canvas and make it fit exactly over the
comment "courier1)". then put it in the correct place in the grid.
Here's an updated version:

on my osx 10.39 , the far left boxes are all looking ok, but the two on the right (devel 0.39-1test1 and 0.39-2-extended-rcl) are not correct.
Actually, the patch itself would be better than a screenshot. I want
to gather all the results into one patch.

Ok.
I've added to the 1st and 3ed test for Mac OS X extended-test7.
And altered the size in the 2nd test for Mac OS X extended-RC1 and
vanilla-0.40-2.
And added the instructions to a subpatch.
Attached.

Attached are my additions of 0.40 MSP and 0.39.2-extended RC1 on Linux and a little helper for easier testing.

I've added your additions to the additions made by Olsen and my self.
Attached.

Thanks, I've incorporated the changes and checked it into CVS. Looks
like it's still a bit more complicated than I thought...
I originally changed the font because it seemed that "Courier" on
each platform was a different shape and size. DejaVu Sans Mono
seemed to be the same. Now I am wondering if it was something like
tk scaling having an effect more so than each OS's Courier.
