Re: [PD] Ugly looking fonts in printed postscript patches on MacOsX
Thanks for your interest Funs. This is actually what I figured out. I wrote a script using Gnu 'sed' and now I am able to change multiple ps files at once. 13 0 -0.5 0 works for my case. :) On 11 Dec 2013, at 01:52, Funs Seelen funssee...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Arda, Whatever script you use doesn't matter. The point is that you search and replace text in the ps-file, so open the file with a text editor (e.g. gedit). For me it usually works to change the following line for all textfields in the patch (e.g. use Ctrl-H): Old: 13 -0.0 0.0 0 false DrawText New: 13 -0.0 -0.3 0 false DrawText I prefer to use Courier-Bold for pd.ps-images. To change the font search for the word font and look for any font family (Ctrl-F or Ctrl-H). The standard is DejaVu...etc.. (I guess something with mono and bold, but I don't know exactly for I changed the default to UbuntuMono-Bold). Do the same trick again with search and replace and try again until you like the result. If you have lots of files it would make sense to write a script for the search and replace thing.

Re: [PD] Ugly looking fonts in printed postscript patches on MacOsX
Mr. Puckette,
Actually I am not familiar with awk and I couldn’t figure out how to use this
script. Anyway, your script gave me an idea. I edited a postscript file and
found the line related to the text justification. I think I can write a shell
script now and mass change the necessary lines in all my .ps files by using the
Gnu 'sed’ command.
Thanks.

Hi all -
I've used awk scripts. The exact thing to do depends on font size and on
windowing system. Most recently my awk script was this:
BEGIN {last = -10}
/findfont 8/ {
last=NR
$1 = /Courier-Bold
$3 = 11.7 + 2
}
{
if (NR == last+2) {
$1 = $1+1
$2 = $2-3
}
print
}

Any ideas ?

Re: [PD] Ugly looking fonts in printed postscript patches on MacOsX
Hi,
After a few hours of work I decided that my solution was not a good idea. :)
If I go back with Mr. Puckette’s script, how can I use it ? Is it a command
line script or a piece of code that will work in pure data ?
Thanks.

Re: [PD] Ugly looking fonts in printed postscript patches on MacOsX
Iâm not familiar with Latex, but are you able to pull in PDFs? Just double click the .ps file and Preview will convert it to PDF. See if that looks a little better. I am just now finishing a book on Pd, and use PDF figures converted from PostScript. I see the same vertical alignment problem, but it doesnât look as bad in PDF, and we figured it was acceptable.

Unfortunately the result is the same in pdf. I'll try the awk script that Mr. Puckette sent. Thank you.
