Hey all I'm happy that so many people are trying to tackling the font / box size issue in vanilla now. From what I can tell, box sizes aren't even consistent within the same Linux distribution. When I switched from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, boxes grew horizontally by one pixel per character for patches with fontsize=10. From what I can tell, other font sizes haven't been affected (no change). Unfortunately, font size 10 is the one that I usually use for my patches.
And it's not only a visual defect. Symbolboxes suddenly don't fit into the GOP area anymore and thus are not displayed at all on the parent. Functionality of patches is truly harmed by this issue. I never managed to get a deeper understanding of the problem and I decided as a temporary work-around to manually fix the line for font size 10 in font metrics in pd-gui.tcl whenever I update Pd. Somehow I concluded back then that this is not a definitive solution, since my modification failed to make box sizes consistent between Linux and Windows.

Done. > Give us screen-shots on All Oss. Of what? Is there a test patch to use for the screenshot? I guess it would make the most sense if all participants in this survey would use the same patch. I can tell so much yet: Your pd-gui.tcl makes boxes use the "correct" width (no overlapping in GOP) with fontsize=10. However, box height is 2px smaller compared to what I had in Ubuntu 14.04 and what I currently have in Windows 10 (this is without DVSM, but with Courier in Windows). I'd be really glad if this is going to be fixed. Roman
