Mac/Windows Fonts

[Sarah Reichelt]

The main problem here is that Windows runs it's monitors at 100 dpi (I
think) and Macs use 72 dpi, so the same size font (in pixels) looks
differently sized on the different screens.

As regards the font itself, I prefer fonts like Arial or Times which are
common to both, but the size may need to be reset for each platform.

If you use the stack's font, without specifying a separate font for each
object, you can have an openStack script that has something like this:

if the platform = "Win32" then
    set the textSize of this stack to 14
else if the platform = "MacOS" then
    set the textSize of this stack to 12
else
    -- do something else
end if
    
Cheers,
Sarah
