Second, I gather that lucida isn't guaranteed to be installed in linux or other flavors of unix (BSD, anyone?) In particular, the default install of Fedora/Gnome doesn't seem to have it. So Pd has to be able to do something appropriate when lucida isn't there.
And that solution also has to work with Tk 8.5.
These are probably quite possible to solve. In a related skirmish, I have to introduce a new file format in some upcoming release to allow for controlling the width of boxes
for example: #X obj 100 50 fuddle~; #V width 160 \, bg 0xFF0000 \, fg 0xFFFF00; #X obj 100 100 duddle~; #X connect 0 0 1 0; #V fg 0xFF00FF \, label this\ is\ a\ label;This makes two boxes, the first one being 160 pixels wide, the second being default width (fitted to text width or inlets width or outlets width, whichever is greatest). The first box is yellow on red, whereas the second uses default colours. The wire between the two objects is labeled. The label position is not specified, so it would be placed automatically by default.
I don't know whether it would be preferable to quote the commas or not, but it doesn't really make much of a difference.
The above snippet can be loaded correctly by pd, so it is in that sense backwards-compatible, although pd won't be able to resave any #V commands.
#V represents the "visual attribute table" of the most recently created object or wire (t_pd *newest; although it's only in Dd that a new wire gets assigned to that variable)
