Hello,

I'm using the latest pd-extended and have display problems when using
pd on a screen which is set to 120 dpi. Then most of the texts don't
fit into the boxes. When I change the screen to 96 dpi everything
works fine.

I assume that's a problem with tk scaling!?

Does someone know a solution for this?


On Fedora/CCRMA I use the following stupid wrapper (it's a hack).



#!/bin/bash
shopt -s -o monitor
xrdb -merge /usr/local/lib/pd_fonthelper
/usr/bin/pd $@ &
sleep 1
xrdb -merge /etc/X11/Xresources
fg 1



pd_fonthelper is just:

Xft.dpi: 72


Obviously you would change this to fit whatever dpi was working for you before.

I also had to comment out some lines in pd.tk which test for 8.5 and
change font size accordingly; once I did, all my Pd font problems
melted away.

Could you guys try pd-gui-rewrite and see if it still has this problem? The Tcl/Tk side has been entirely rewritten from scratch, so hopefully it'll "just work" now. Otherwise, we can get the fixes in that branch.
