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

[Dan Wilcox]

Good to know the reasoning why the pixel fiddling stuff didn’t make it over with the guy update into vanilla. 

I’m seeing the padding issue with the object boxes when rendered in high dpi on OSX and now I know what it is.

I do agree with Alexandre that using the same font on all platforms would help in regards to layout in patches between OSs.
