Maybe its possible to have Tk do all the sizing, then have pd query
Tk to get the sizes. That would allow for the Tk scaling, which
would be very nice to have because it keeps the all the layout
relationships the same, it just zooms it. That'd be much more useful
that different font sizes.

It's much more trouble to adapt Pd to use variable-width fonts, but
totally
possible. The trouble is the code that figures out where to put line
breaks fitting text into boxes and then how big to make the box around
the text. Not the end of the world, I don't think.

It turns out that the fonts seem to vary quite a bit in their
positioning... what a pain... I still think the way to handle this
is to just set the boxes to pixel sizes, then let the fonts fall
where they may. Too bad there isn't a free Lucida, or Inconsolata
isn't done yet... I can't seem to get Tcl to use Inconsolata, maybe
because its a .otf not a .ttf.
One question I have is whether Pd really needs a monospaced font. It
looks quite good with Lucida Grande, which is proportional.

In g_rtext.c:

outchars, tempbuf, sys_hostfontsize(font),
(glist_isselected(x->x_glist,
&x->x_glist->gl_gobj)? "blue" : "black"));
places the text, and the border gets drawn in the text_drawborder()
function. I couldn't spot anything platform-dependent in the code,
although I've noticed that drawing comes out differently on Mac
compared
to other platforms - create a slider, for instance and look at the
bar.
I believe Pd corrects for that when drawing inlets/outlet on
objects,
but I don't think there's anywhere else.

Can anyone point me to where the text is placed on the canvas in
relation to the object and message boxes? It seems to vary
depending
on platform and I'd like to troubleshoot it.
