Are you on GNU/Linux? If so, you are either missing the Bitstream Vera Sans Mono or your font support is messed up. It's

yesterday, i was informed that "ttf-bitstream-vera" is going to be removed from debian in the (near ?) future. seems like we should use another font or provide it with pd(- extended).
probably it would really be the best if the default font was
included with Pd. this would also help me with Gem finding a default font...
That font is one of the default GNOME fonts and part of the GNOME
suite, why would they remove it? Do you have a link/reference about
that?
It seems there should be a global font path in Pd, so that this stuff
can be set in one place and shared.
