hmm, i think (but don't know exactly) that pidip needs low-level access
to the font, instead of relying onto system-fonts.
it just happens that pidip searches the system-font paths to get its fonts.

it should be similar to the case of Gem (though Gem does not even
attempt to access the system fonts);
one could hack pidip (if it doesn't already do so) to additionally use
pd's search paths to search for fonts.

i don't think that this is that simple with tcl/tk (but then: why not?),
which probably relies on the system's font manager.
