Maybe (?) Colibri for Windows is the option that lead to the best outcome on Mac when Helvetica is the substitute with the minimum amount of OS-dependent WALTER tweaks to font positions and size? I dunno.įor those who like to tweak, I like Futura or Eurostile/Microgramma for a very distinctive vintage vibe (and very similar to what was used on old analog gear back in the 60s and 70s) and Droid Sans has a distinct vibe and gives great readability (especially the distinction of l and L and 1).Īnd yes, in v7 the macOS transport bug still exists: you must choose a font with variant named 'bold' for tranport status or it will not display and defaults to Helvetica. Colibri on my Macbook is actually the worst case of a font display going wrong that I've ever seen.

And I have no real display or alignment issues problems doing so (believe me, I've tried a ton).

The funny thing is ('cause it I don't like Helvetica in Reaper) since v5 adjusting fonts is my first immediate theme tweak. I know there are significant differences in how fonts display from system to system and it can be a nightmare trying to get things to look right in all cases.
