Please take screenshots of fonttest.tcl on 8.5, I'd be interested to see how it compares. Also, if you want to do the measurements that would be also good to have.

which is your version of Tk? please note that when I switched to Tk-8.5 with xft support (anti-aliased fonts) I found even bigger fonts while looking at my old tcl/tk projects
shall we collect again the information, for filling a matrix of font sizes?
note: the matrix this time would have to be the cartesian product of: (win32 linux macos)x(<=tk8.4 tk8.5xft)x(font sizes...)x(pd version?)

I decided to take Pd out of the equation, so I did a quick test using just Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X and Ubuntu Studio. It looks like it confirms what I am talking about: for some reason 12 point is big on GNU/ Linux. So I think we can handle this by forcing 12 point fonts to actually use 11 point on GNU/Linux machines.
Here is the script and the screenshots:

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
