try running your Tk font test with only "wish" not "wish8.5". That's
what Pd uses. wish could be pointing to wish8.4

Hi Hans,
Now I'm really confused. I tried -verbose and it shows the following
in
the path.
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/
I rechecked the installation of the recommended fonts (see
small-font-pd-extended-#2.png) and verified the command line flags.
Even
the font size does not change. Tk scaling is 1.2508464142813174.
So maybe tk is not reading the fonts for some reason, so I did a
little
wish8.5 test, presented in tk_likes_dejavu.png.
Am I the only one trying to use pd-extended 0.42-5 on a 64bit lucid
machine with nvidia proprietary drivers?
I tried switching to "nv" or "nouveau" but X does not start, looks
like
I'd have to remove the proprietary drivers just to test.
I'll try it on my lucid live DVD when I get a chance.

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,

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
