[PD] cross platforms issues with displaying fonts in vanilla but not in Purr Data

[Lucas Cordiviola]

Totally,

I got your point, that’s why  I’m asking for those screen-shoots.

As Jonathan said, Purr Data uses a CSS trick which allows browsers to load Fonts overriding the OS. (the fonts are not installed on the system). This is relatively new, before that there was a limited amount of safe web fonts.

Vanilla atm is not installing fonts on the OS afaik. And traditionally, fonts that are not installed on the Os are not available to the Apps.

Don’t get me wrong, we are on the same side & I`m telling a couple of things that I know.


----------
On Windows there’s another monospace font that is shippped since Vista.

Try “Consolas”,  <----Case-sensitive. (-font-weight normal).

it sounds that you are saying that if a vanilla patch does not look as how you see it in your Mac is “bad”.

yes, or kinda, as I wouldn't  say it like that, I can also say that if a vanilla patch doesn't look as how you see it in linux or windows, it is bad... it is a two way street here, and my concern is that things work out of the box for cross platforms.

Or, like I said it myself


I just hoped we could make vanilla laod the same fonts in all platforms and that patches would all look the same as in Purr Data, what's preventing it from happening?


And by "what's preventing it from happening?" I'm basically asking: What is it that we should do to make it happen that we are not doing right now, and why are we not doing it?

cheers
