Looks like the cavalry has arrived to the south. Alex, do we have 44-40 ammunition for the gentlemans?
We are just holding Miller`s Bridge!!!. @ Jonathan: >There is a problem with Hans' solution. It fits the boxes tightly around the fonts as measured at runtime. This makes it impossible for a user to know if the same patch with a different font will have overlapping objects on another user's machine. If is impossible to know what happens on a different font why don’t we stick to “one” for a standard. >(Or the same font with a different font-rendering stack, or even a different version of the same stack!) I trust in you but this is out of scope for me. How this translate on using just one “font” on just one “vanilla”?

I’m seeing the padding issue with the object boxes when rendered in high dpi on OSX and now I know what it is. I do agree with Alexandre that using the same font on all platforms would help in regards to layout in patches between OSs.

But that space is visually required to keep users from placing two boxes so close together that they overlap on a platform that renders the same font slightly wider. Otherwise you get users caught up in a vicious cycle of breaking/fixing each other's object spacing in patches. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika<http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com<http://danomatika.com> robotcowboy.com<http://robotcowboy.com>
