I really prefer a monospaced default font even from an aesthetic point

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
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.

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
I agree that Lucida Grand is good. Keep up the good work on this, Pd
craves beauty.

Thanks much. I'll take a look. But now after fiddling with
different fonts, it seems that its the fonts themselves that have
different placement. Bitstream Vera Sans Mono seems to be too high
up. Lucida Grande looks much better:

Since I am on
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.

As we enjoy great advantages

Or did you mean the contents of the boxes?
static void *my_canvas_new(t_symbol *s, int argc, t_atom *argv)
in g_mycanvas.c might be relevant...
