Re: [PD] Pd vanilla font size

[João Pais]

this is an old thread, but only now I go to see it. Turns out the problem  
was a bit exotic: I usually install the latest pd version in one computer,  
and then just synchronize my other computer to it. For some reason, I  
wasn't updating all the folders, so I was running Pd with and old tcl  
folder.

Now that everything is updated, it looks quite good.

Best,

Joao

The GUI tries to find the font size that fits a set of predefined box  
sizes. The one computer might have some system settings that make this  
process work >differently then the others and this is probably out of  
Pd's control.


You can check a couple of things:

1. turn on log level 4 and verify the font and font weight that are  
being used, the print looks like "Using font: DejaVu Sans Mono normal"


2. stop Pd, edit tcl/pd-gui.tcl on two machines and uncomment the font  
metrics prints, then start Pd and check the log to verify the metrics  
are similar or >vastly different:  
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/tcl/pd-gui.tcl#L540


As discussed in work on the font sizing for Pd 0.48, the way the system  
works there is no real *guarantee* the sizing and positioning can be  
pixel >*perfect* between platforms. I think we're pretty close using the  
metrics from Pd-extended but systems and system settings change...

Hello list,

a small question about font size: in one of my computers the font in  
the patch is bigger than in the others. That happens in the same patch  
with the same settings. Is this behavior known?

Pd vanilla (it happens with any version I install), windows 10.

Best,

The one computer might have some system settings that make this process work
