I understand your misunderstanding, I ment that Pd on OSX cant open fonts with 
spaces in its name. & this is related also to tk/tcl.


>and, also, purr data loads dejavu sans in Mac OS

Yes, because of the CSS “@font-face ”, which in turn allows web browsers to 
load fonts “on the fly” which can be stored anywhere and not need to be 
installed on the OS.

Yes, C`mon Alex. The font was installed via the installer. I used it since 2006 
on win xp.

Yes, you could also have installed just the font instead of installing extended.

Yes, if you use an installer. (at least on mswindows)

Retry using dejavu but with “-font-weight normal” on Pd`s startupflags. And 
resize font to 10. I cant remember which was extended default font size.
