Thanks for identifying yourself Andras,

My problem is very odd then.

I'm using tk8.5 (8.5.8-1) from the lucid repos.

What is your dpi setting Andras? (mine is 96)

My old tk8.2 book says that the tk scaling is proportional to the dpi,
and for a 90dpi display the tk scaling should be 1.25.

So my tk scaling should be 1.33 for 96.

Your tk scaling of ~4.233 = a dpi of 304?

I guess I'll try compiling pd-extended from src and see what that gives
me. I'm still confused why the pd font and size args change nothing on
my system.
