[PD-dev] Reminder Pd-devel IRC meeting Feb 13 (tomorrow)

[PSPunch]

Ooops, I spoke too soon about the fonts...


Tcl/Tk supports anti-aliased fonts on X windows with version 8.5 which 
after updating to, Pd started up with menu fonts closer to the system's 
style. (My Ubuntu 8.04 originally had some version in the 8.4 line.)
