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

[Lucas Cordiviola]

Yes you’re right.

I just use coll-help from your git.

My confusion comes cuz I’m used to ”Consolas” font, and this seems to behave better.

Also switching back to Courier is better than dejavu.

Both Consolas and Courier behave better than Dejavu.

Can you switch to Courier on your Mac and send a screen-shot?

It could be that Courier might be the best cross-platform font, as is historically one of the first monospace fonts (typewriter era).

ok, dont know how I managed to screw up that badly, but now the
-font-weight normal" flag works! It doesn't look "bold" anymore, but it still takes a lot of space outside the patch area... whereas in Extended that doesn't happen (intriguing).

and it's funny how vanilla is using "bold" by default

funny how I see no difference with -font-weight normal or bold in vanilla, just looks the same (and bad)

Sure, I’m also happy.

I`m not on my computer atm, but if iirc the coll-help you did looks better on my pc.

cool, i've been working on it since we put cyclone 0.3 pre-alpha 4 or something, but it's still the same font size and averything

check if its the same file both on Windows & Mac.

it's the same file, from git, can't go wrong, same one, same size

So, what really intrigues me is why it looks "ok" in extended, but "weird" in vanilla, if it is the same font and all... guess we need to understand that

cheers
