[PD] Cross-platform uniform GUI rendering of patches.

[Lucas Cordiviola]

You are right but changing from Bold to Normal *don't* change object box size. At least on Windows.

As the object box sizes are determined by the font and it’s sizing, I’d argue that they are directly connected.

In the source code for Pd, I have also changed the default font
weight to “normal”, so there shouldn’t be a need for the bold
version. I have to fix the Windows build to be able to see it for
myself next, though.

Isn't changing the font weight a separate issue from fixing consistent
appearance across platforms, in that the font weight is a design
decision while using the same font and working font metrics are a bug
fix?

I propose that changing the font weight is treated as a separate step.
Miller probably consciously chose bold weight and we shouldn't treat it
as a bug. Personally, I'm not even in favor of font weight normal,
though I hardly care.
