I don't think of it as a bug but as an enhancement.
If it is really easy to switch between those 2 font metrics, which one will be the default?
The one that is not compatible with Purr Data and Extended?
I personally can perfectly live without that option.

i'd also like to add, that we should not (ever) add an option with the
sole purpose of working around bugs.
if you consider the slightly different font sizes a bug (and i gather
you do), then we should find a solution to the bug itself (rather than
provide an easy way to make everything worse).
if you only consider them an annoyance, you might want to investigate in
creating a gui-plugin that fixes the problem.
(it seems that currently, Pd-gui signals the font metrics back to
Pd-core, which will (among other things) trigger Pd-core to load it's
libraries. it might be worth entangling *that*)
