Right, but the question is whether Pd-extended should go ahead and require tcl/tk 8.5. The ttk requirement of search-plugin.tcl-- which loads by default in the next Pd-extended-- is one reason. Avoiding two messages in each "Fonts are ugly/weird/broken" thread is another: User-to-entire-mailinglist: Font problem x y z... Answer-back-to-entire-mailinglist: Are you using tcl/tk 8.5? User-to-entire-mailinglist: Yes so what next / No but now I am thanx Much less likely with tcl/tk 8.5 requirement: User-to-entire-mailinglist: In 2006 I set up my Pd box and stepped out for a bit to go to medical school. Now I updated Pd and suddenly there's this error.
