well, I'm referring to this message when I tried to point out for the
second time about this issue with print screens - I got an answer as if I
was stating the obvious and making several pointless remarks, but then I
also had tried a third time to make this clear and then a fourth attempt on
a different thread... this has been a fifth time, and, well, this is my *Last
Ditch Effort* in raising this issue...

see?

ok? clear now? I'm sending those print screens again, and I'm including a
third print from Purr Data and a fourth with vanilla on Mac Os with Monaco,
hope it is clear now...

so, again, this is:
- vanilla with DejaVu in windows;
- Extended with DejaVu in windows;
- Purr Data with DejaVu in Mac Os
- Vanilla with Monaco in Mac Os

What are we seeing here?

1) Purr Data in Mac Os with DejaVu lloks like Vanilla with Monaco in MacOs!
2) Purr Data with DejaVu in Mac Os looks like Extended with DejaVu in
Windows
3) Vanilla in Windows with DejaVu looks like something else...

My point, once again, is that there's a consistency between Pd-Extended and
Purr Data, but things get complicated when Pd Vanilla comes in... *things
do not look the same in vanilla and the others* *even with the same fonts!*

cheers
