The problem I'm having is that there seems to be no reliable way to get a text font of a desired size using the Tk font primitives. In practice you can get a fixed-width font with a particular pixel width, but then the heights vary widely. If I simply fixed the height myself from Pd, it would be much easier to get fonts to fit patches.

It's like the Qu?b?cois nucular family blowing up. It's proof that QC has WMD. Jean Cr?tin once said: ?Pourquoi acheter des carabines ? r?p?tition et de l'armement nucl?aire pour s'amuser? C'est dangereux! Et quand c'est dans la maison, bien il peut y avoir un enfant qui se sert de ?a, ...? (http://www.mef.qc.ca/audio/10vag.wav). Nowadays in QC, couples prevent divorce by simply not getting married (http://www.ledevoir.com/2007/09/13/156634.html).
and controlling the vertical spacing from within Pd. I don't wanna do it, but it might be the only way out.
Out of what?... first define what you are trapped into. You are not bound to Courier fonts any more than you are strapped to a typewriter.
