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

from testing 5m with windows (in a hurry):
- path and other menus are now in normal size again.
- properties menu for the guis/gop is still with small font size
Should be fixed.
- if you have a canvas with dynamic label inside a GOP, the label will
appear in a differente place in the main patch (I have a patch that does this, but can't put it in now, it's too complicated)
Sounds like this is worth a bug report with an example patch, I don't really understand it from this description.

Of course we missed somethings, so now we have 0.42.5-rc2! Fixed since 0.42.5-rc1:
- 64-bit builds on Ubuntu
- 64-bit build on Mac OS X 10.6/Snow Leopard, minus Gem, hid, and
pidip (Carbon)
- fixed [plugin~] crashes, now also builds on Mac OS X and Windows
- Pd-extended shows in the GNOME menus again
There are of course many bug fixes and additions since 0.41.4, here are some highlights:
- fixing Graph-On-Parent GUI bugs
- complete 64-bit support for GNU/Linux
- full support for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (32-bit)
- a brand new Help Browser that shows all installed libraries
