[PD] Pd-extended 0.41.4 release candidate 1

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

The text sticking out of the boxes is usually caused by Tcl/Tk 8.5:

http://puredata.info/docs/faq/on-gnu-linux-the-fonts-are-strange-and-or-too-big-or-small

The pidip error is really just a warning.  I think you can set a font  
then it'll work.  Otherwise, check out the source files for the two  
text objects, you'll see the default location is:

imlib_add_path_to_font_path("/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/ 
TrueType");
