Sure enough - with TK 8.5, font sizes are no longer integers; the "font metrics" command appears to return the next-higher integer sizes (thus throwing off box sizes and messing up selecting text within boxes).
I'm not sure what to do - try to adapt Pd to deal with fractional font sizes, or find some way to force TK 5 to use integer-sized fonts, or just give up and use 8.4 for another cycle... Incidentally, 8.4 isn't yet building on my MacOS 10.6... maybe I can just include the system-provided one :) M On Sat, Jul 15, 2017 at 11:22:35PM +0200, Dan Wilcox wrote: > I've added a macOS 32bit 0.48.0-test1 build using the normal (old, included) > Tk 8.4 wish: http://docs.danomatika.com/pdbuilds/ > <http://docs.danomatika.com/pdbuilds/> > > >> On Jul 15, 2017, at 11:02 AM, pd-list-requ...@lists.iem.at > >> <mailto:pd-list-requ...@lists.iem.at> wrote: > >> > >> I notice it looks quite differently in Mac OS, like there is a new font, > >> but it still seems it is Monaco.
