[PD] Pd-extended 0.42.5 (stable + nightly) tiny fonts?

[B. Bogart]

Hi Hans and all,

After reading too many books and not doing much PD, I'm back.

I'm now running on an ubuntu64 lucid installation, and using the
corresponding pd-extended package. I also tried yesterdays nightly build.

Both versions show object and console text in a super small font. It
looks like 8 or 9 point. I thought it may be the dpi setting (since
nvidia cards seems to mess with that a bit) but changing the dpi setting
in xfce font settings appears to make no difference.

Also the object boxes are bigger than needed for the text size. I've
attached a screenshot.

Thanks,
B. Bogart
