As long as the box heights remain consistent to the pixel, I don't see a problem with tweaking the fonts. Its a personal preference really, I suppose. 0.43 should be a little more flexible than 0.42 in terms of setting fonts from the command line. Ultimately, I'd love to see the GUI stuff handled all by Tk, then we will get a scaling/zooming interface for free, and this box size question will go away forever. .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits. - Martin Luther King, Jr. _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list Pd-dev@iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
