Well the modifided tcl AFAWCT gives uniform patch rendering on all OS with the same font.
Also this tweek is compatible with Purr-Data. It came from a long discussion we had with Alex, he was mad cuz his help-patches done on OSX were bad on linux & windows. We concluded that: Each OS was using a different font: dejavu:linux, monaco:macOS, courier:windows. So we started testing all on DejaVU and we still got his help-patches bad. Then we use extended metrics and “All solved”. Obscure why vanilla:monaco:osx fits for vanilla:dejavu:linux:mod.tcl But anyway this tcl mod renders perfectly patches that were done with extended, or with Purr-Data. GOP needs testing, but surely vanilla will behave as if it was extended. Only changes are : @ pd-gui.tcl line 127 you will find the Pd vanilla font metrics The actual real pixel dimensions of the font are none of our business and irrelevant cuz patches render the same or really close on all OS.

I'm still not convinced anyone actually understands what the font sizing algorithms are doing, or whether they are indeed buggy. Under those circumstances I don't think it's a good idea to expose a new setting to the user. Has anyone actually read the handful of relevant procs/functions responsible for the sizing? For example-- if you choose "12" in Pd's font size dialog, the actual pixel size for the font displayed on the tk canvas could be -11, -12, -13, etc. Are the discrepancies in your screenshots due to different actual pixel sizes, or did you normalize everything to the same actual pixel font size? -Jonathan > Mensaje telepatico asistido por maquinas.
