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

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

ok, made some progress, I did screw up in the flag, but now I'm using it
right, I just can't seem to get "DejaVu Sans Mono" called, it's loading
courier instead [image: Imagem inline 1]

>> Vanilla is not shipping “deja vu sans mono”,
>> Can you give screen-shots with this font installed on your Mac?
>> May be your patches render the same as Linux & Windows.

>> And remember the startup flags:
>>
>> -font-size <n>     -- specify default font size in points
>> -font-face <name>  -- specify default font
>> -font-weight <name>-- specify default font weight (normal or bold)
