[PD] Pd-extended 0.41.4 release candidate 1

I was about to write about the same font problems for the release
candidate on fedoras 9 and 10 -- it finds bitstream vera just fine,
but the fonts stick out of the boxes in the same way.  If this is
because of Tcl/Tk 8.5, that's not going to be an easy one to fix,
since Fedora's moved ahead with 8.5 -- maybe it's possible to install
an 8.4 compat version.  Either way, the current fedora/ccrma nightly
builds are against 8.5.


PS
In Pd-extended on fedora 8 the bitstream vera font is not found (I
posted on this several months ago)... F8 doesn't have tcl/tk 8.5 so
newer binaries don't work.  At any rate, I haven't found a solution to
this one... maybe I'll try adding a symbolic link in the path listed
in the source file.
