The following lines:

        sys_fontlist[i].fi_hostfontsize =
            atom_getintarg(3 * best + 2, argc, argv);
        sys_fontlist[i].fi_width = atom_getintarg(3 * best + 3, argc, argv);
        sys_fontlist[i].fi_height = atom_getintarg(3 * best + 4, argc, argv);

are how Pd finds out the actual font size from teh Tk front end; in Pd
extended the font patch comments these lines out, so Pd assumes the font
size is exactly as specified.  This leads to problems like clicking on one
place and getting text selected in another.  I never understood why the
lines were commented out.

I'm not sure how wise it is to make a relase of Pd that depends on having
a particular font installed... looks like this breaks a lot of machines.

cheers
Miller
