thanks. just to make sure: the font weight doesn't have any influence on the 
object sizes, right? in that case it would be only a matter of personal 
preference. maybe it could be an option in Pd?
 
what do you mean? Don't have any default setting and ask before hand what is 
the option the user wants? 
 
And well, currently it is an option already. You can set it with a startup flag.
 
But my point is that I think it should have the same default option 
consistently accross platforms one way or another.
 
cheers

Now when I think of it, when I switched from Pd-extended to Pd vanilla a couple 
of years ago I was first annoyed by the bigger font size. So it's really just a 
matter of getting used to it. Just one question: on Windows (and also Linux?) 
the font weight defaults to bold (as opposed to Pd extended). Is this on 
purpose and is this the same on MacOS?
 
It is not the same at all on macOS! And this has also been a matter of 
dicussion here on the list. That is if we should get them all consistently the 
same. But before we deal with that, it was necessary to do this part of the 
process anyway. So after this we can make a decision on that. 
 
I'm arguing we should have them all with normal weight instead of bold by 
default. Because it'd be consistent also with Pd Extended and Purr Data. I find 
bold specially hard on the eyes when checking documentation and help files. I 
remember there were different points of view, as always, but not that much or 
strong rejection to making it normal weight. But anyway, this should be a new 
discussion with as much people involved as possible for the next release.
 
cheers
 
 wouldn't t is not on purpose, I'd say this happened 
 

 
Anyway, thanks for the great work!!!

Yes, the sizes are a little smaller/tighter and come from Pd-extended. Things 
work best with DejaVu Sans Mono so rendering should be the same using the same 
font. For more info, see: 
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/159[https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/159]
 
If everyone ends up hating this, we could just go back to Courier on all 
platforms. At least then we wouldn't have to ship a font....
 Note: DejaVu Sans Mono is the default font but it's not currently shipped with 
or loaded by Pd on Windows yet. There is some extra work needed for this and it 
seemed important to fix the sizing issues on macOS first. I wrote up some info 
about the fonts in 
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/font/README.txt[https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/font/README.txt]

 
Also, zooming now works for all guis, the inlets & outlets are the same height, 
lots of little drawing bugs were fixed (VU scale not completly hidden), etc etc 
etc.

Hi Christof,

Yes this changes were totally intentional, and are for good IMO, now patches 
render the same on all platforms!.

They were well tested, see: 
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/227[https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/227]
