Ben Bogart had this problem as well, basically the font wasn't recognized by the system. Can you use that font in anything?

I think he solved it by reinstalling x-ttcidfont-conf. On a Debian- esque machine, you do this:

apt-get install --reinstall x-ttcidfont-conf

.hc

I guess that is not correct, since it changes to the same font no matter what I put there. I do have Bitstream Vera Sans Mono installed.

You're right. It looks like it's using regular Bitstream Vera Sans rather than Mono?
I have this line in my .pdrc
-font-face "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono"
Is that correct?


Also, Pd-Extended defaults to Monaco on OS X, which is included, but I don't like it since it is not anti-aliased (I posted about that elsewhere).

The following lines:

        sys_fontlist[i].fi_hostfontsize =
            atom_getintarg(3 * best + 2, argc, argv);
sys_fontlist[i].fi_width = atom_getintarg(3 * best + 3, argc, argv); sys_fontlist[i].fi _height = atom_getintarg(3 * best + 4, argc, argv);

are how Pd finds out the actual font size from teh Tk front end; in Pd
extended the font patch comments these lines out, so Pd assumes the font size is exactly as specified. This leads to problems like clicking on one place and getting text selected in another. I never understood why the
lines were commented out.

I'm not sure how wise it is to make a relase of Pd that depends on having a particular font installed... looks like this breaks a lot of machines.
