>>
>> see?

>>> here, let me show you 2 print screens, a patch in Extended that looks a

>>> sans got screwy... in the same way as in linux...
>>>
>>
>> ok? clear now? I'm sending those print screens again, and I'm including a

>> 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
