I am guessing that you could do some font sizing like is in pd-devel
0.41. Check out pdtk_pd_startup in pd/src/u_main.tk. There you can
find the font measuring code. Basically, it is mapping a font to Pd's
font size numbers:
foreach i {8 9 10 12 14 16 18 24 30 36} {
set font [format {{%s} %d %s} $fontname_from_pd $i
$fontweight_from_pd]
set pd_fontlist [linsert $pd_fontlist 100000 $font]
set width0 [font measure $font x]
set height0 [lindex [font metrics $font] 5]
set fontlist [concat $fontlist $i [font measure $font x] \
[lindex [font metrics $font] 5]]
}

Thanks to all for your replies,
I found that page about font size and Tcl/Tk 8.5 last night and
started looking for some 8.4 packages for OpenSuse but couldn't find
anything. OpenSuse 11.1 is the same as Fedora 10, they moved to 8.5
and there are no 8.4 packages (I remember Ubuntu being better for
providing older versions). I wonder if we could look into pd's code to
try to fix this with 8.5, any ideas where I could start looking?
Cheers,
Hector

The text sticking out of the boxes is usually caused by Tcl/Tk 8.5:

The pidip error is really just a warning. I think you can set a
font then
it'll work. Otherwise, check out the source files for the two text
objects,
you'll see the default location is:
imlib_add_path_to_font_path("/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/
dirs/TrueType");

base64 problem solved. The package tcllib was needed. The only
prblems
left are with pdip not finding the fonts and with the text sticking
out of the object boxes.

OK, I tried setting the font size using the -font-size flag but
even
with small font somehow the size of the object box doesn't scale
properly and the text still sticks out. Also I'm getting this
error in
the terminal:
can't find package base64
Thanks,

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. I
only had
to hack one of the make files (the one for tclpd). Now the
problems
I'm having are:
PiDiP : additional video processing objects for PDP
version 0.12.23 ( [email protected] )
error: [pdp_text] error: could not load default font, no text
rendering!
install Bitstream Vera, it's free! (http://www.gnome.org/fonts/
)
error: [pdp_qtext] error: could not load default font, no text
rendering!
install Bitstream Vera, it's free! (http://www.gnome.org/fonts/
)
I have Bitstream Vera installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype, do I
have to copy them somewhere else?
Also the font in in the pd gui is too big so the text entered
inside
the objects doesn't fit inside the object boxes.
Once I have this things sorted out I will post in the pd wiki a
short
review about building pd in OpenSuse including a list of required
packages.
Cheers,
Hector

I don't know SUSE at all, so I won't set it up, but I am happy
to help
someone else get the builds running on a SUSE machine. Do you
have one
to
offer? It doesn't need to be fast, just working. Most of the
build
farm
are 733Mhz machines from '98, for example. :) Also, it would
be good
if you
documented the build process on the wiki so others can follow it:
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/FrontPage/createform?
page=SUSE
You can see the Debian or Fedora page for an example:
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/Debian
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/Fedora
As for a source tarball, I haven't made one... but you can get
the
whole
thing from svn easily enough:
svn co
https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/branches/pd-extended/0.41

Is there a URL for downloading this version's source? I'm using
OpenSuse 11.1 so I have to build it from scratch. By the way,
does
anyone know about an OpenSuse repository for PD? Probably
there are
not enough resources already but is there any chance of
including
OpenSuse in the building farms?
