try running your Tk font test with only "wish" not "wish8.5". That's
what Pd uses. wish could be pointing to wish8.4

Hi Hans,
Now I'm really confused. I tried -verbose and it shows the following
in the path./var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/
I rechecked the installation of the recommended fonts (see small-font-pd-extended-#2.png) and verified the command line flags.
Even the font size does not change. Tk scaling is 1.2508464142813174.So maybe tk is not reading the fonts for some reason, so I did a
little wish8.5 test, presented in tk_likes_dejavu.png.Am I the only one trying to use pd-extended 0.42-5 on a 64bit lucid machine with nvidia proprietary drivers?
I tried switching to "nv" or "nouveau" but X does not start, looks
like I'd have to remove the proprietary drivers just to test.I'll try it on my lucid live DVD when I get a chance.

If -font-face doesn't change the font, then the font you asked for is not installed correctly, or there is a typo in the font name. Font names are case-sensitive, IIRC.

Thanks Hans,
I installed those fonts, removed tcl8.4 (leaving 8.5) and
reinstalled pd-extended.No change in font size.
I also tried starting pd-extended with the -font-face flags, and
still no change.I also switched from the binary on puredata to the pd-extended
package in the ubuntu repo, which is version 0.42.5-3.I also confirmed in xfce and in the nvidia settings that my screen
dpi is 96, and a 96 pixel wide square is indeed 1in on screen.What else can I try?
An interesting note, If I open the 'about PD' patch, and change
the font size, 10 and 12 point choices change only the height of the font,
the width stays constant between them. Both x and y change for the other font size choices. I can make a screenshot if that helps.I have to say its great to have pd-extended in the repos! and 64
bit! Much has changed. :)Thanks, B.

Hi Hans and all,
After reading too many books and not doing much PD, I'm back.
I'm now running on an ubuntu64 lucid installation, and using the corresponding pd-extended package. I also tried yesterdays nightly build.
Both versions show object and console text in a super small
font. It looks like 8 or 9 point. I thought it may be the dpi setting
(since nvidia cards seems to mess with that a bit) but changing the dpi setting in xfce font settings appears to make no difference.Also the object boxes are bigger than needed for the text size.
I've attached a screenshot.Thanks, B. Bogart
