[PD] [PD-announce] Pd-0.39.2-extended-rc1 released

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

That's the plan, we just have to figure out how best to do that.   
It'll be easy on Windows, the installer will handle it nicely.  On  
GNU/Linux platforms, it should be installed via the package  
management, like "yum install dejavu-lgc-fonts".  On Mac OS X, the  
user will probably have to do it manually, but that's not hard.

It might make more sense to use Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, since  
that's included on any machine with GNOME installed.  DejaVu is the  
same font with support for more languages and character sets.  I am  
not sure that Pd will even display them all.
