Is there a way to access the default textsize?

Eeyorelife

in my code I use the default textsize and then I change it and then I want it to go back to the default again. I've found that textsize 12 is almost the same as the default, but size 12 makes a weird extra space between lines every 8th line. It's annoying and it's messing up my code.

I could show some code, but I think it would be overly complicated and unnecessary.

@Eeyorelife=== default textSize and font can probably be verified in the P5 preferences.txt (i think that it is 12)

You're in luck! The textSize field of PGraphics is public. So you can retrieve the default PGraphics (called g - which is a convenient trick to use in a lot of situations!) and see what its textSize is:

println(g.textSize);

It prints out just '12.0' on my system. Probably changing the font changed some other properties as well which you can check.

@Eeyorelife::: && as i can see font is Monaco(default)
