Hi Nick, good to know, but this is just a workaround. That command line changes the font-face which Pd will use.
Looking for the xfont error log you have posted I found this thread: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2005-05/2360.html A similar error has been solved --dpkg purge(ing) and apt-get install(ing) two font packages. If I'm not wrong the Pd default font is ttf-bitstream-vera, I guess there could be something wrong in your font configuration. Although, I don't understand why it causes your Pd to crash only with cntrl and flext. Anyone? Best, Marco On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 9:17 AM, Nick Burge <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes....that's it.
