Has anyone else got the same problem? I am reluctant to go back to apt/Debian's pd 0.47.1-3.
Actually, if I install via
sudo aptitude install puredata=0.47.1-3
$ pd -version still gives me Pd-0.48.1 ("") compiled for Debian (0.48.1-4) on 2018/03/04 at 19:05:23 UTC
weird...
the problem is, that "puredata" is only a meta-package that depends on puredata-core, puredata-gui and more. downgrading the meta-package might not downgrade puredata-gui and puredata-core (the latter being the one that prints the version number, the former being the one that would have the problems with the font).
Thanks, I was suspecting this. Out of interest, is it normal that the meta package does not downgrade the depending packages?
i would say so, yes. after all, downgrading packages is not really supported. (the usual impliciation being, that configuration files will only be converted into one direction.)
since i'm pretty convinced that your problem is not about the actual Pd-version, i'm going to spend approximately zero time to support downgrading if i'm not forced by some policy to do so).
so rather than spending much time with downgrading the package, i would do other tests, like creating a new user and see whether the problem persists in the pristine account.
(you also might want to consider adding the additional information requested in your sf ticket.)
