Is there some setting I'm missing in terms of getting the help text to be formatted correctly?
It's nice that they help is actual, working patches but it almost seems like either:
a) whomever set them up didn't do a very "tidy" job of it b) my formatting is out of whack
I usually have to drag things around just so I can read them.
Also, all of the different 'put' options (object, message, number, etc.) overflow their respective containers as if the font is too big or something?
Hardly a deal breaker but far from pretty.
PEBKAC?

Have you used the zoom menu item in PD? This tends to make text larger without affecting the position of objects on screen. If you have, I'd just zoom out until it looks right. Actually, that might be worth trying anyway.

You're right, it's not a menu for zoom. I just couldn't be bothered looking it up at the time. It's the font menu. Usually under Edit > Font. Which is probably the problem.

Hi Aaron,
I remember the font and the ALSAmixer mentioned in your other thread as both being common n00b problems on Linux.
The font problem comes when the default Tcl/Tk font in the Linux system is different from that used in the help files. I don't recall the solution to this, but maybe that will help you search the archives better.
With the ALSAmixer, you have to make sure that it does not pass the sound from the microphone directly through to the speakers. IIRC, this is not so intuitively labeled in the ALSAmixer. But one of the onscreen fader-like controls (or its MUTE command) does this, and once you set it and save the mixer settings it will never bother you again.
Good luck, D.
