BUT, before i/we haven't solved the problem using/installing new fonts on all OS i'm not giving any beta version fonts for usage :(
A new default font for PD is fine, but I would prefer if one could change fonts in PD itself, say with a nice "Font Dialog". I don't know Tk well enough, but this can't be *that* hard, can it?

On Linux, or more precisly on XFree86 installing fonts is different, if you use a fontserver or not. If not, you download the font
$ cd /home/me/myfonts $ wget http://www.langbox.com/AraMosaic/mozilla/fontXFE/naskhi8XBf12.pcf.Z
Then you have to generate a fonts.dir file
$ mkfontdir /home/me/myfonts
And then make the directory known in the font path (fp)
$ xset fp+ /home/me/myfonts
Now I have a new arabic font:
$ xlsfonts | grep naskhi -lbi-naskhi-bold-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-iso8859-6.8x -lbi-naskhi-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-6.8x
If you use the X-fontserver xfs, it's much the same, only you have to make the fontpath known to xfs:
$ chkfontpath --add /home/me/myfonts
If you want a system wide install, you're in for a ride, because every distribution has it's own tools to "make it easy".
