Something I found in Pd-extended is a different metric matrix in
pd-gui.tcl . I took over some of Pd-extended's values and it does
already a better job, but still not perfect:

------
diff --git a/tcl/pd-gui.tcl b/tcl/pd-gui.tcl

The width of the sizes 8 and 10 are OK now, but 10 is now one pixel
taller on Linux compared to Windows. Size 12 didn't change at all. It is
still wider and one pixel taller on Windows compared to Linux.
