IIRC, the reason for the inconsistency is because it was explicitely
requested. The linux fraction of Pd users weighed in heavily for bold, whereas OSX
and W32 users tended to regular.

I'm getting bold by default on windows... so that doesn't add up.
 
anyhow, i agree that all GUIs of Pd should consistently use the same
**bold** font.

I thought the agreement was to go for normal font in all systems, which is also how it goes for Extended/Purr Data

cheers
