[PD-dev] Font issue with 0.43

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Actually, it turns out that bug#1 seems to affect all key bindings,  
not just Cmd-T.

I'm going to try my hand at fixing IOhannes' issues with the original  
pd-gui-rewrite/0.43 startup procedure.  It was well tested in a lot of  
use cases, so I think the best bet is to try to address the specific  
known issues rather than changing it drastically.
