I can understand not wanting dependencies, but you can include
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono with Pd. It's a free font. It would just
be one file, two if you want normal and bold.

It would be MUCH easier to deal with than say, ASIO, portaud
Well, I'm trying to avoid dependences on stuff that isn't absolutely
guaranteed to be there in the OS, so that Pd can work out-of-box without
running installation scripts.
Also, even though the sizes are apparently predictable with lucida etc.,
they are quite uncomfortably different from what Pd c
If you set tk scaling to a fixed value, and use a font that is known
to be installed (i.e. included with Pd), then the font sizes quite
reliable in terms of pixel sizes, at least in my tests.

The problem I'm having is that there seems to be no reliable way to get
a text font of a desired size using the Tk font primitives. In practice
you can get a fixed-width font with a particular pixel width, but then
the heights vary widely. If I simply fixed the height myself from Pd,
it would be

Mac also uses the embedded Tcl/Tk. Only on GNU/Linux does Pd use the
Tcl/Tk as installed in /usr/.

I think that fighting against Tk and different font files is not a
good option. That's basically what we have now, and it's not working
well. I don't think fighting more against Tk will make things better.
I think the best option is to use a standard font that is known to be
the same size
slightly different on linux:

This is why I'm thinking about what I call the nuclear option: separating
all text into separate lines and controlling the vertical spacing from within
Pd. I don't wanna do it, but it might be the only way out.
