Hello, I have problem with the font of my Pd. I have installed Pd 0.50.2 and the font it is using is Courier 10 instead of Deja Vu Sans Mono. So I get this: *WARNING: Font family 'DejaVuSansMono.ttf' not found, using default (Courier 10 Pitch)*
Not a big deal but I would like to understand why and how to have it right. I teach so I would like my students to see I use the same font as them ;) The funny thing is that I had this problem, I deleted all directories I could find about Pd, did: *sudo apt-get --purge remove puredata* *sudo apt-get autoremove* *sudo apt-get --purge remove puredata-core* (because with *dpkg list* and it was still there*)* Then I reinstalled this version of Pd, compiled from here http://msp.ucsd.edu/Software/pd-0.50-2.src.tar.gz https://www.google.com/url?q=http://msp.ucsd.edu/Software/pd-0.50-2.src.tar.gz&sa=D&source=hangouts&ust=1588244565555000&usg=AFQjCNHgBYMjxM-j3AHvu1vZfm5zN7KhMw
then compiled with *./autogen.sh*
*make * *sudo make install*
Then on top of this I tried *sudo apt-get install fonts-dejavu* with no effect, in the terminal I read it is already there in the *font folder.*
I add a screenshot just to show how it looks and that I have the font files in the font directory.

Thanks for any advice

any reason why you don't use the Debian package of Pd-0.50-2? if you are using Debian/buster, there are backports [1] available.
and make sure to have the 'fonts-dejavu' package installed.

Tank you very much for your response. I am not experienced in installing Pd on Linux. It is the first time I did it by myself with the help of a friend remotely. He advised me to use the link I showed you. I don't mind to explore a different package.
Which one should I choose? I am looking here
https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/puredata/
I use Xubuntu 16.04 Description: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial
on a 64bit Asus
Thanks for your attention
