I could be wrong but I believe that when you ask for a negative font size that inhibits scaling... so the line in pd-gui.tcl:
set foo [list $::font_family -$fsize bold] is asking for pixel-deterministic font sizes. I think that TCL/TK 8.6 is in fact misrepresenting the true font size by 1 pixel. What I don't know is whether to throw in a workaround (test for TCL version and adjust ifit's 8.6???) or to try to dig up the problem in tcl/tk itself... cheers Miller On Wed, Feb 15, 2017 at 12:52:00AM -0700, Dan Wilcox wrote: > On further digging, I think the culprit is a slightly different tk scaling > value: > > Tk 8.4 -> scaling: 0.999016715831 > > Tk 8.6 -> scaling: 0.9990167158308751 > > Looks like a precision/rounding issue after all w/ 11 digits versus 17. > > > On Feb 15, 2017, at 12:16 AM, Dan Wilcox <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Looks like you’re right.
