I did make a change there in the past, but I am currently maintaining
too many things, I can't keep up. Therefore I need to drop some
things. I figured you are already maintaining pidip, so you might be
able to take this on. I can easily revert my changes, but that will
also just leave things in a non-working state.
I agree with you, I think the best bet would be to use a font that's
installed on all GNU/Linux systems. I believe DejaVu is such a font,
since its the default font for GNOME, among other things.

If you want to revert to that, I am fine with it. I never could get
that helmet.ttf font working, that's why I switched it to Bitstream
Vera. Since GNOME used that font as its default, it would be the
most likely font to be already installed..hc

So now that Bitstream Vera seems to have been purged from Debian
and Ubuntu, I think that the PiDiP text objects should use a
different font as the default. The GNOME default font is now DejaVu, so that
probably makes sense to use.Otherwise, unless people manually install Bitstream Vera from
outside of Debian/Ubuntu, they'll get this:PiDiP : additional video processing objects for PDP version 0.12.24 ( ydegoyon@free.fr ) error: [pdp_text] error: could not load default font, no text
