Hi Hans
I noticed a significant difference between Pd-extended-0.43 and Pd-vanilla-0.43 appearance. Symbol- and Numberboxes are 2 px higher in Extended than in Vanilla. This is especially problematic in cases where a GOP-patch in Vanilla was created so that the number/symbol box perfectly fits in. The same GOP-abstraction in Pd-extended does not show the number/symbol box at all, because it is overlapping the GOP area of the abstraction.
I measured a default number box on Pd-extended 0.42.5 and 0.43. They both were 21x39 pixels at 12 point font size. I don't know the details of the current state of this stuff in vanilla, but in Pd- extended, these sizes have been consistent across platform and version since 0.41 at least.
I also noticed that Pd-extended-0.43 on OS X does not use anti-aliased fonts, although it is (I think) using Tcl/Tk 8.5, while Pd- vanilla-0.43 does use anti-aliased fonts.
On Ubuntu both, Pd-extended and Pd-vanilla 0.43, do use anti-aliased fonts.
That's an odd bug I've never seen. Pd-extended on Mac OS X has had anti-aliased fonts for a long time (0.40?) and it does on every Mac I've seen it on. Can you post a screenshot?
