#2 - Pd can't find any fonts other than Courier. This might actually
be a tk problem, based on the following tclsh session:
% package require Tk
8.4
% font families
{fangsong ti} fixed {clearlyu alternate glyphs} {courier 10 pitch}
{open look glyph} {bitstream charter} {song ti} {open look cursor}
newspaper {clearlyu ligature} mincho {clearlyu devangari extra}
{clearlyu pua} dotum clearlyu clean nil {clearlyu arabic} {clearlyu
devanagari} batang {standard symbols l} gothic {clearlyu arabic
extra}
That list is short and doesn't include e.g. DejaVu Sans Mono,
which is
installed on my system via the ttf-dejavu package. I've noticed that
the standard default.pdextended includes
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType on the search path,
and I tried adding /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu to that list
to see if it would help, but no dice. I couldn't figure out from the
code how e.g. $sys_searchpath affects Tcl's font search path. Anyone
have any ideas what could be going wrong?
I get fewer fonts recognized under wish8.4 than I do under wish8.5.
I just force it to use tcl/tk 8.5 and things seem to look ok.
Awesome, that did the trick. I ran update-alternatives to set
/usr/bin/wish to be provided by /usr/bin/wish8.5, and now fonts are
working. Thanks.
Hey Jacob,
Thanks for the bug reports and patches! For future reference on the
font topic:

About libdir, vanilla, etc. this stuff is under development in 0.43.
There is a new pd/startup/ folder. Anything in this folder is
automatically loaded. Today's build should automatically load libdir,
pdlua, vanilla/list, vanilla, and extra from pd/startup/
.hc
