[PD] Object size & Pd Extended

[Alex Lucas]

Hello everyone,

Hans thank you for your reply. I did what you suggested but unfortunately
the problem is still there. I also reinstalled Pd-extended. The output from
the terminal is provided below. It seems the Bitstream fonts were already
installed.

Regards
Alex
