[PD] Object size & Pd Extended

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

 From the screenshot it looks like the right font is loaded, but it  
is messed up, since the p and g are higher than the other letters,  
for example.   Looks like you are running Ubuntu/Hardy.  Which  
language are you using?  It works fine on both of my Ubuntu/Hardy  
machines, and it worked before on Feisty and Gutsy.  My guess is  
still that something is wrong with your machines font handling.   
Which version of Tcl/Tk do you have installed?
