Thanks Hans, I installed those fonts, removed tcl8.4 (leaving 8.5) and reinstalled pd-extended.
No change in font size. I also tried starting pd-extended with the -font-face flags, and still no change. I also switched from the binary on puredata to the pd-extended package in the ubuntu repo, which is version 0.42.5-3. I also confirmed in xfce and in the nvidia settings that my screen dpi is 96, and a 96 pixel wide square is indeed 1in on screen. What else can I try? An interesting note, If I open the 'about PD' patch, and change the font size, 10 and 12 point choices change only the height of the font, the width stays constant between them. Both x and y change for the other font size choices. I can make a screenshot if that helps. I have to say its great to have pd-extended in the repos! and 64 bit! Much has changed. :) Thanks, B.
