With the freshly installed Pd-0.43.4 ("extended") compiled 04:55:28 Jan 24 2013 on my ubuntu 12.10 64bits, when i instantiate [text2d], pd tells me [text2d]: cannot find font-file '/home/batinste/vera.ttf'
Well...
~$ locate vera.ttf /usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/Gem/examples/05.text/vera.ttf /usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/Gem/examples/data/vera.ttf
i clicked "defaults" in the preferences, i've got no .pdextended in my home directory, so
~$ vim /etc/pd-extended/default.pdextended [...] path1: /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType npath: 1
This directory /var/lib/defoma doesn't exist... Maybe pd should look in its own directories to find vera.ttf.
I guess x-ttcidfont-conf no longer works, it used to put symlinks of every installed font into /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType
I don't know how to solve this, there must be a way that Gem can search for font files in a proper Debian/Ubuntu/etc way.

Gem uses Pd's open_canvas() to find fonts. simply add /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType or whatever to your "-path".
also, when compiling Gem you can specify a default font (with full path).
also, as user you can override the default font in your gem.conf.
finally, adding font-search mechanisms to Gem is very low on the priority list.

In Ubuntu and Mint at least, it seems that x-ttcidfont-conf no longer does anything. My /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType folder is totally empty, even after a dpkg-reconfigure.
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType is already included in the Pd-extended search path by default for many years now...
