mac font nitpick?

Post by boatclub » Thu Oct 08, 2009 5:15 am

hey all.
this might be a bit of a weird thing to post about, but i've just noticed it, and it's a little bit distracting, and cannot figure out why it's happening.

thought somebody might know how to fix it.

i'm on mac os x leopard, system font anti aliasing is off.

in max/msp 5, i have native text rendering turned on, so there is no font anti aliasing in the program as well.

i'm trying to use monaco 9 in my patch.

in most of my programs, even basic ones like, textedit, my irc client, even max/msp 4, they all show monaco 9 like this:

in max/msp 5 specifically, and even another program i have, REAPER, the kerning on the exact same font is really odd. it squishes everything and makes somethings uncomfortable to read:

does anybody have any idea why this happens, and if it's fixable?

many thanks!
lou.
