[PD] need advice: i386 or amd64 for a new Debian installation?

[Nicola Pandini]

Thank you for the infos.
I tried to compile pd-extended for amd64 a couple of weeks ago, but it 
seems to be broken (reported by Lorenzo Sutton), so I'm trying to find a 
precompiled .deb for wheezy.
I found that only 0.43 has a .deb for wheezy (currently without jack 
support).
I tried also to install the 0.42.5 .deb for squeeze in wheezy, but I've 
got an issue of fonts.
Does anyone know if there is a 0.42.5 .deb for wheezy?
