try adding this line at the beginning of your pd.tk:

option add *font {Helvetica -12}

or option add *font {Helvetica -12 bold}

does it improve anything?

Yes, it does effectively change the font but it still looks bad. What was the default font for that? I liked that one. I have no idea about why they changed all together systemwide.

Seems like it's not finding the pd.tk file, perhaps. Did you install

Pd-extended >into somewhere else besides /usr/local?

.hc

I found out that my problem is about a problem in the recent Ubuntu. If X crashes(I happened to have it occasionally at that time as I was trying something that was crashing X) and you login, than you have to restart to have full functionality back, at some times. It is not the case anymore, I don't know why but it is fixed for now. Thanks.

So we will see anti-aliased fonts when tcl/tk8.5 is implemented??

Cooooool :)

Hello,

I'm having an issue with my Pd version 0.39.3-extended-rc5 installation in ubuntu feisty fawn.

I was having no problems when suddenly the pd icon on my desktop refused to launch pd properly. A blank pd window shows up: http://www.batuhanbozkurt.com/stuff/pdblank.png

Launching pd by pressing alt+f2 and writing "pd" yields to the same result.

However if I launch pd from terminal by writing "pd", it launches fine. But the menu fonts are garbled(which is the case in all tcl/tk applications-not pd spesific). http://www.batuhanbozkurt.com/stuff/pdfonts.png

I think I'm having a problem with Tcl/Tk right? Any suggestions for this?

yeah, the problem is that they are waiting with the release of tcl/tk8.5 too long ;)

joke aside, i assume the problem is that the font tk8.4 uses here (bitstream vera sans?) is not so optimal for not-antialised use (or tk8.4 doesnt render it not so nice)

it looks ugly, but i assume it is normal...

.andre

ps. this is one of the reasons why i use tcl/tk8.5 from cvs for a long time already...

...

Thanks. Batuhan

For something like pd, I'd pick lightning fast ui redraws over aa text any day of the week.

I think I'll try to find a way to reenable bitmap fonts in Tcl/Tk 8.5 (in the context of DesireData) because of the slowdown and because they look clearer and because they just aren't the same fonts. I want to have runtime choice among all possible fonts, not just truetype. Unfortunately, Tcl/Tk 8.5 makes it a bit hard, but I've been told that it is possible to do it.
