Hi Miller,
I've put some work on shipping & loading DejaVu font on w32 for the new nice cross-platform gui.
Can you review this PR? : https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/270
The branch can be downloaded from: https://github.com/Lucarda/pure-data/tree/Using-DejaVu-font-on-Ms-Windows-II
I have tested it on windows machines without the font and it loads it fine.
Is there anything I can do?
