Try the old font fix:

Or try switching to Tcl/Tk 8.5 by doing:
apt-get install tk8.5 update-alternatives --config wish
Either of those help?

hi all,
I was testing out the new pd-extended builds over the weekend and found a common problem with the Lucid, Maverick and Debian builds . No matter what I tried, I could not get pdextended to load with anything other than the chunky default font, sans anti-aliasing. I have Dejavu family fonts installed on all the test systems. I also tried using the -font-face switch but it didn't seem to make a difference. At first I thought it was something I was doing, but after having the same problem on three different systems, I am now wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Am I missing something blindingly obvious?
