[PD-dev] [PD] working towards Pd-0.40.3-extended

[Luke Iannini (pd)]

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).
