The problem is that when I move from one system to another, many of my abstractions fail to display correctly, because the atoms fall outside of the GOP area. (See the attached image: the GOP area was set in 0.47, but it won't display in 0.48). The Context
library uses a lot of tightly fitted GOPs (for better or worse), and I'm looking for a solution so that I can guarantee that they will display correctly on all systems. Even if the PD font width is standardized, there is always the chance that somebody loads
PD with the <i>-font-weight bold</i> flags, which would throw it off again.</div>

An external object that reported the system standard dimensions would offer a solution, since you could then set the abstraction to resize itself according to the system.</div>

I'm also open to other solutions, if anyone can think of them.</div>

<div>seems so, I guess we know that much :) but i don't get it, what do you need? Font size? That should be simple, and nice/useful cause you could work around you patches even if you change a patch's font size.</div>
