I was about to write about the same font problems for the release candidate on fedoras 9 and 10 -- it finds bitstream vera just fine, but the fonts stick out of the boxes in the same way. If this is because of Tcl/Tk 8.5, that's not going to be an easy one to fix, since Fedora's moved ahead with 8.5 -- maybe it's possible to install an 8.4 compat version. Either way, the current fedora/ccrma nightly builds are against 8.5.
PS In Pd-extended on fedora 8 the bitstream vera font is not found (I posted on this several months ago)... F8 doesn't have tcl/tk 8.5 so newer binaries don't work. At any rate, I haven't found a solution to this one... maybe I'll try adding a symbolic link in the path listed in the source file. > Date: Thu, 14 May 2009 21:01:32 -0400 > From: Hector Centeno <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [PD] Pd-extended 0.41.4 release candidate 1 > To: Hans-Christoph Steiner <[email protected]> > Cc: Pd List <[email protected]> > Message-ID: > <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > OK, it seems that I got it to build in OpenSuse 11.1 and it seems that > it was much less effort than when I did it on OpenSuse 11.
