[PD] reporting the dimensions of a symbol / float atom

[oliver]

just a thought here:

what about using [number2] instead of PD's native number atom in a GOP ?

i was recently in a situation where i worked with my own objects on a 
different platform (OSX) and the patches DID look a little different, 
but my GOPs (which only use [number2] were consistent.

i know that also [number2] size depends upon the selected font 
renderings, but i had the feeling it's a little more stable

best
