I played around some more and I can't reproduce your starting
problem. I was able to start the current code on Ubuntu like this:
wish8.5 ../bin/pd.tk
wish ../bin/pd.tk
../bin/pd
And on Mac OS X like this:
wish ../bin/pd
../bin/pd
the Pd-devel.app that I have.
I did fix the font panel, it launches now. Maybe Tcl is having some
issue with your font setup?
