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,

wrote: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" }.hc

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.Regards,
