<p>Anyone willing to test and give feedback can modify "pd-gui.tcl" and restart Pd.</p>
<p>The how-to is here:</p>

<p>There's also a windows version for font testing here:</p>
<p><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://lucarda.com.ar/x/pdfont.zip">http://lucarda.com.ar/x/pdfont.zip</a></p>
<p>Its a 0.47.1 zip version with modified metrics & with TWAPI for autoloading the included dejavu font.</p>
<p>Unzip and start with double-click on the file "start-Pd-from-here.cmd".</p>
<p>It uses "normal" font weight (not bold). This can be changed editing "start-Pd-from-here.cmd".</p>

<div class="">My opinion is that things should look the same, out of the box, on vanilla, pd extended, and purr data. In the verge of bringing cyclone to purr data, I hope the same documentation works in both, cause doing two of them would be insane.</div>

<div class="">Only you and Lucas have tested it. Sending emails back and forth to each other agreeing on a change doesn't;t magically make it happen.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I didn't add the metrics changes to the PR because the PR is about bringing the font in first (in my mind). The metrics can be in a different branch. If I put all of them together, it makes it much harder to be able to decide "we want the font
changes, but not the metrics changes yet". As I've mentioned before, many times now, I personally do not have all the knowledge to know if the tweak to the tcl from extended, in fact, is only thing that's needed.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">That's not to say the extended stuff CANT be brought in, just that, in software that lots of people rely on, it pays to be conservative in making changes like this. It may work for *your* help patches but may break tons of *other* patches for
other people. I dunno, which is why I am cautious. We need feedback from others and the "powers that be."</div>
