Ok, seems we have yet another thread to keep discussing a same topic that I kinda started. Anyway, if the focus of the debate has changed indeed, I suggest changing the thread name and adding (was: "xxxx" <= old thread subject), in this case: (was: (wip) Preferences file).
So, I did bring this up, how patches look differently in vanilla according to the operating system, and how they look different from extended / purr data (which, on their own, look consistent in all platforms and also look like each other!). Changing the font metrics from Vanilla to extended's/purr data's doesn't compromise the patch as the other way around does. Cause opening extended patches in the vanilla's metrics does compromise the visual experience a lot, creating all sorts of overlaps... I already pointed this out in the previous threads. So, keeping it objective and not to repeat myself too much, I consider this an issue, an undesired behaviour, a bug, whatever, and I hope we could fix it. Any opposition? What is the best way to do this? cheers 2017-02-21 19:05 GMT-03:00 Lucas Cordiviola <[email protected]>: > >> Ok, if that's the case then I would suggest not to add a user-facing > font-metrics option. > > >+1 > > >i'd also like to add, that we should not (ever) add an option with the > sole purpose of working around bugs. > > Is it a bug? > > >if you consider the slightly different font sizes a bug (and i gather > you do), then we should find a solution to the bug itself (rather than > provide an easy way to make everything worse). > > Yes. > > >if you only consider them an annoyance, you might want to investigate in > creating a gui-plugin that fixes the problem. > > We have a problem. > > >(it seems that currently, Pd-gui signals the font metrics back to > Pd-core, which will (among other things) trigger Pd-core to load it's > libraries. it might be worth entangling *that*) > > Yes, I cant override or change the variable “font_metrics” set @ line 127 > from “pd-gui.tcl” using a gui-plugin. > > Is it posible? > > I still think that shipping dejavu and hard-code Pd-extended metrics is > full of goodness. > > Salutti, > Lucarda > > > >fgamdsr > >IOhannes > > > > > Mensaje telepatico asistido por maquinas. > > > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/ > listinfo/pd-list > >
