If -font-face doesn't change the font, then the font you asked for is not installed correctly, or there is a typo in the font name. Font names are case-sensitive, IIRC.

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.

Hi Hans and all,

After reading too many books and not doing much PD, I'm back.

I'm now running on an ubuntu64 lucid installation, and using the
corresponding pd-extended package. I also tried yesterdays nightly build.

Both versions show object and console text in a super small font. It
looks like 8 or 9 point. I thought it may be the dpi setting (since
nvidia cards seems to mess with that a bit) but changing the dpi setting
in xfce font settings appears to make no difference.

Also the object boxes are bigger than needed for the text size. I've
attached a screenshot.

Thanks,
B. Bogart

from testing 5m with windows (in a hurry):

- path and other menus are now in normal size again.
- properties menu for the guis/gop is still with small font size

Should be fixed.

- if you have a canvas with dynamic label inside a GOP, the label will appear in a differente place in the main patch (I have a patch that
does this, but can't put it in now, it's too complicated)

Sounds like this is worth a bug report with an example patch, I don't
really understand it from this description.

Of course we missed somethings, so now we have 0.42.5-rc2!  Fixed
since 0.42.5-rc1:

* 64-bit builds on Ubuntu
* 64-bit build on Mac OS X 10.6/Snow Leopard, minus Gem, hid, and
pidip (Carbon)
* fixed [plugin~] crashes, now also builds on Mac OS X and Windows
* Pd-extended shows in the GNOME menus again

There are of course many bug fixes and additions since 0.41.4, here
are some highlights:

* fixing Graph-On-Parent GUI bugs
* complete 64-bit support for GNU/Linux
* full support for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (32-bit)
* a brand new Help Browser that shows all installed libraries
