what about the weired select-text-in-the-about-window-and-close-to- crash-pd bug? it's in the bug tracker since a while and still present.

Ok, I fixed another 8.5 issue, this one with the Help Browser. I am
afraid that the issue of the iemgui's label fonts looks complicated so
that's going to have to wait for the next release.

PS -- this Fedora hack almost works well for object and message boxes
-- some of the mappings seem wrong (fiddling with the values in gnome
on Fedora 10 changes nothing for me).

This hack also doesn't affect font size for labels on gui objects
(sliders, bangs, etc.) -- these are too large still.  I haven't yet
tried it in data structures.  I have a feeling something awful is
afoot.

I'll post screenshot comparisons when I can get back to my fedora
machine.


Thanks a bunch for your patience on this,

Matt




Excellent, could you add info that to the FAQ entry on this topic:

ah! I found the source of the problem. Googling for the font size
issue in Fedora I found that it seems that Gnome in Fedora 10 has
problems auto-detecting the right DPI for the display. In the Font
section of the Appearance Preferences, clicking on "Details" shows a configuration window where the resolution in DPI can be set. I changed that to 96 and the fonts work fine in PD with the original values in
Pd-0.41.4-extended-rc3.

Cheers,

Yes, I do have that code in pd.tk which I had already hacked before
in
a similar way. Under OpenSuse those font sizes work fine but in
Fedora
the 8 has to be changed by 7 like this:

set sizelist "5 6 7 9 10 12 14 16 19 25"

For some reason in general the fonts in Fedora look bigger. After
getting use to the sizes in OpenSuse I had to reduce everything in
the
gnome settings.

Cheers,

Hector
