So now there *are* size incompatibilities with Miller's Pd? I'm just asking to be prepared, I don't run the Pd from pd-extended, I prefer a plain MSP-Pd in the latest version. > There are incompatibilities between different versions of Pd (0.38, > 0.39, 0.40), and each of those versions different platforms > (Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS X).

I'm not against solving this at all. But of course incompatibilities should be kept to a minimum, I hope you'll agree with that. (Besides the OS-issues, no versions of MSP-Pd that I've used, had size-incompatibilities when using the same font.) I'm just a bit worrind: Now that you've released new fonts into the (pd-extended) wild, there's an additional, new variable to consider with regard to compatibility when going further with font enhancements.
