hi all,
I was testing out the new pd-extended builds over the weekend and found a common problem with the Lucid, Maverick and Debian builds . No matter what I tried, I could not get pdextended to load with anything other than the chunky default font, sans anti-aliasing. I have Dejavu family fonts installed on all the test systems. I also tried using the -font-face switch but it didn't seem to make a difference. At first I thought it was something I was doing, but after having the same problem on three different systems, I am now wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Am I missing something blindingly obvious?

Try the old font fix:
http://puredata.info/docs/faq/on-gnu-linux-the-fonts-are-strange-and-or-too-...
Or try switching to Tcl/Tk 8.5 by doing:
apt-get install tk8.5 update-alternatives --config wish
Either of those help?

Hi Hans,
Neither reinstalling the fonts or switching to Tcl/Tk 8.5 made a difference. Fonts in PD vanilla (0.42.6 from the repos) look fine, by the way. This is in Lucid and Maverick, not able to test on Squeeze at the moment.

Is there a reason the pd-extended builds have a hard dependency on tcl/tk 8.4. The vanilla in the repos depends on 8.5. Would that make a difference?

Can you post screenshots somewhere?
