sudo aptitude install ttf-bitstream-vera

Hello,

I've recently installed Pd Extended 0.40.3 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04. I seem to be having problems with the size of object boxes whereby the text doesn't seem to fit inside the bounds of the object. I'm using a screen resolution of 1440 x 900, when this is reduced to 1024 x 786 there is no problem. I've also installed Pd Vanilla 0.40-2 which seems to be fine regardless of the screen resolution. Please click on the link below for a screen shot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Alex
