Re: [PD] Font weirdness with 0.43test

My machine is running 8.5... but I don't think it's good to have Pd's default font choice come out all wrong... ideally, it should do something reasonable no matter what the font (well, at least if it's fixed-pitch). At the very least, Pd has to know the correct font metrics... and it seems now no

I have found that "Courier 10 Pitch", "DejaVu Sans Mono", and "Andale Mono" work best. We should probably change the font searching thing in pd-gui.tcl to use those instead of what's there. .hc On Wed, 2010-08-25 at 22:30 +0200, cyrille henry wrote: > hello, > > withubuntu 10.04 > > pd -nopre

Here is the answer to this font problem: - use Tcl/Tk 8.5 or newer, Tcl 8.4 is very flawed (see archives for discussion, basically it makes bad guesses and assigns them to the fontname "courier") - use one of these fonts: {"Courier 10 Pitch" "DejaVu Sans Mono" \ "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono

2010-08-25 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner
I figured out the cause. The problem is caused by the font used being different than the font that fits into the standardized boxes. If you have the margin problem or the offset clicking problem then your Tcl/Tk is not used "DejaVu Sans Mono" or "Andale Mono", the two fonts I have found that fit

By 'margin' I meant that 'the box is larger than the text inside it so there's a bunch of empty space inside it'... if you don't see that you won't have the problem I'm having :) M On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 02:45:12PM -0400, Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: > > Ok, testing now... as for having the bo

Ok, testing now... as for having the boxes with a standardized size, that's been the case with Pd-extended 0.40 and is also the case with 0.43 as of now. I'm not sure if I understand your idea about the margin tho, but an outline in edit mode sounds like a good idea. .hc On Wed, 2010-08-25 at 1

I think the real solution to this would be one step deeper. If Pd used Tcl to handle the GUI interaction, then we could use the Tk scaling feature, which is what Tk does to handle cross-platform differences in font rendering. Pd could then store the Tk scaling number in the patch, and u
