Here's another possible approach... to get the dialogs etc to look OK you can comment out the line "tk scaling 1" in tcl/pd-gui.tcl (a long confused thread on this: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2013-06/019517.html) and then to get the actual patch contents to look OK again, try to change the scaling of canvases using this: http://wiki.tcl.tk/4844
I don't have any way to test all this (no 'retina display' - I use a desktop machine - and anyway I'd rather swallow broken glass than use a Macintosh today). cheers Miller On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 04:29:43PM -0400, Jean-Michel Dumas wrote: > lol I knew someone would post something like that and i'm aware of ways to > do that (though not sed, since you have to be a wizard and/or a machine to > use that). i'm still keeping that line, could be handy sometime, thanks. > > i'm working between multiple machines from a centralized patch repository, > which means fixing the look of all the patches for one will render them > weird looking on the others. my main patching machine is running Ubuntu and > everything looks fine on it. the gig machine I need stuff to look good on > is a new macbook, hence the retina display. > > anyway, the fact remains that all dialogs and menu bars and titles stay > ugly even if I can partially fix the patches by reducing font size. > > i'm guessing it's XQuartz's fault somehow, but I know nothing about it or > how to change the display mode. > > jm > > > > Jean-Michel Dumas > > http://www.jmdumas.org > > http://magasin.bandcamp.com > > > On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 4:05 PM, IOhannes m zmölnig <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 08/21/13 21:09, Jean-Michel Dumas wrote: > > > the "pixel doubled mode" problem stays for dialogs, titles and menus, > > > plus I really don't want to go through all my old patches and change the > > > font size! ;) > > > > > > > why not? it should be quite simple: > > > > $ find . -type f -name "*.pd" -exec \ > > sed -i -e '/^#N canvas/s/12;$/10;/' \{\} \; > > > > fgmdras > > IOhannes > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > [email protected] mailing list > > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list > > > > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
