hi,
i just installed pd-0.40.3 from miller's site and boom! http://www.workinprogress.ca/pd/pdantialiased.png
looking good: font with anti-aliasing... i guess it's because it is using tk8.5

I believe Pd on Mac and Linux just uses whatever TK your machine has installed. (On windows I have to include TK in the Pd release, so it's fixed at 8.4 something I believe.)

Mac also uses the embedded Tcl/Tk. Only on GNU/Linux does Pd use the
Tcl/Tk as installed in /usr/.

It's not just antialiased, it's TrueType, and the TrueType Courier has too much spacing above and below, so either your font gets very small or your boxes get too big.

This is why I'm thinking about what I call the nuclear option: separating all text into separate lines and controlling the vertical spacing from within Pd. I don't wanna do it, but it might be the only way out.

I think that fighting against Tk and different font files is not a
good option. That's basically what we have now, and it's not working
well. I don't think fighting more against Tk will make things better.
I think the best option is to use a standard font that is known to be
the same size on all platforms. Like Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.
There are others as well. Inconsolata looks quite promising, but
isn't done yet.
The other option is to choose fonts that are proven to be the same
size. Courier has proven to be different sizes on each platform.
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono and Monaco (included in Mac OS X) are quite
close. I think that Lucida Console (included in Windows) could be
quite close as well, but I haven't measured it.
