More less, except for Windows which is not using DejaVu Sans Mono yet, although we have a font loader for it now. This should be fixed in an upcoming version.
The sizing is taken from Pd-extended which largely had tested Tcl font rendering across all platforms. With the same font, the patches should render the same size most everywhere, as shown with our testing. I would still suggest not relying on *exact* pixel sizes and give yourself a little padding here and there to be safe. In some ways, this was really not a fun problem as people moving from Pd-extended had broken sizing and people with tight GUIs like yourself have broken patches, but it should be *much* easier to resolve the sizing in the future. OTOH maybe it's worth talking about a different sizing algorithm and/or object size querying as setting a different font will of course change the sizing slightly base on what TK gives us. Maybe being able to query the size and width a character in the current font might help... > On Mar 21, 2018, at 3:18 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > From: Liam Goodacre <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > To: "[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>" > <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > Subject: Re: [PD] reporting the dimensions of a symbol / float atom > Message-ID: > > <vi1pr0102mb35843e5e52585015e68ec8f3fc...@vi1pr0102mb3584.eurprd01.prod.exchangelabs.com > > <mailto:vi1pr0102mb35843e5e52585015e68ec8f3fc...@vi1pr0102mb3584.eurprd01.prod.exchangelabs.com>> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Thanks for the input, Roman.
