ah! I found the source of the problem. Googling for the font size issue in Fedora I found that it seems that Gnome in Fedora 10 has problems auto-detecting the right DPI for the display. In the Font section of the Appearance Preferences, clicking on "Details" shows a configuration window where the resolution in DPI can be set. I changed that to 96 and the fonts work fine in PD with the original values in Pd-0.41.4-extended-rc3.
Cheers,
Hector

Yes, I do have that code in pd.tk which I had already hacked before in a similar way. Under OpenSuse those font sizes work fine but in Fedora the 8 has to be changed by 7 like this:
set sizelist "5 6 7 9 10 12 14 16 19 25"
For some reason in general the fonts in Fedora look bigger. After getting use to the sizes in OpenSuse I had to reduce everything in the gnome settings.
Cheers,
Hector
p.s. I attached a screenshot of the way it looks with set sizelist "5 6 8 9 10 12 14 16 19 25"

Ah, I thought that "Fedora Package" might have meant some official package included in Fedora.
could you post a screenshot?
do you have Bitstream Vera Sans Mono installed?
in /usr/local/lib/pd/bin/pd.tk, do you have this code around line 3996:
if {$::tcl_version eq "8.5"} { set sizelist "5 6 8 9 10 12 14 16 19 25" } else { set sizelist "8 9 10 12 14 16 18 24 30 36" }

Just wanted to let you know that using the Fedora package in Fedora Core 10 the font still seems too big. The text still sticks out of the object boxes.

Please test on Windows and give feedback! I haven't heard anything about Windows. It's looking ready for release, so please try it if you haven't already so we can find the last bugs. As far as I know, there aren't any outstanding bugs that need to be fixed for this release. So I think this is the release.
Test away and file bugs in the bug tracker!
http://puredata.info/dev/bugtracker
This release candidate includes:
- on GNU/Linux, corrected font size when using Tcl/Tk 8.5
- moocow/flite speech synth added on all platforms
- fixed strict-aliasing build problems with cyclone, iemlib, bsaylor,
and sigpack
- (Windows) increased default audio buffer to 100ms since there are
some really flaky audio cards in Windows land
- (Mac OS X) decreased buffers to 20ms since all Apple hardware that I
have tested in the past 7 years works with that
