Actually, I think the preferred way of specifying the font would be to use Tk font specs rather than X11 font specs. They are easier anyway. I replaced all the X11 font specs in Pd-extended using Tk font specs.

They are like this:

"font size style", i.e.: courier 12 bold monaco 24 bold helvetica 12 (blank style means normal)

This is not the case with Tk 8.5. If you want to support all fonts that Tk 8.5 supports, you have to use X11 font specs, because Tk font specs are now reserved to TrueType fonts.
