From the screenshot it looks like the right font is loaded, but it
is messed up, since the p and g are higher than the other letters,
for example. Looks like you are running Ubuntu/Hardy. Which
language are you using? It works fine on both of my Ubuntu/Hardy
machines, and it worked before on Feisty and Gutsy. My guess is
still that something is wrong with your machines font handling.
Which version of Tcl/Tk do you have installed?

Hello everyone,

Hans thank you for your reply. I did what you suggested but
unfortunately the problem is still there. I also reinstalled Pd- extended. The output from the terminal is provided below. It seems
the Bitstream fonts were already installed.

Regards Alex

I'll bet it is having trouble finding the Bitstream Vera fonts.
Start out by making sure they are installed:

sudo aptitude install ttf-bitstream-vera

Then try this:

Hello,

I've recently installed Pd Extended 0.40.3 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron
8.04. I seem to be having problems with the size of object boxes
whereby the text doesn't seem to fit inside the bounds of the
object. I'm using a screen resolution of 1440 x 900, when this is
reduced to 1024 x 786 there is no problem. I've also installed Pd
Vanilla 0.40-2 which seems to be fine regardless of the screen
resolution. Please click on the link below for a screen shot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated Many thanks Alex _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/ listinfo/pd-list
