Hm, I think that was added in Pd-extended/Pd-l2ork, but maybe Pd-Vanilla 
doesn't have it.  My demo build
is based off of Vanilla so that may be why it isn't there.

The entire dialog, or just the headings?  I hard-coded some font for the 
headings just to get them
to be bold-- that's something I'll change now that I can test it on all 
platforms.

Probably also something that's in Pd-extended (Pd-l2ork?) but not in 
Vanilla.  I'll check.

On Vanilla, yes.

In Vanilla and Pd-extended, nearly nothing.  In Pd-l2ork, it actually 
tidies up the patch by aligning
objects vertically and horizontally.  (Can't remember the method it uses 
but it seemed to work ok
in Pd-l2ork when I tested it.)

Ah yes, I meant to remove the one from the file menu.  I'll fix that.

I think those sections are deprecated in Pd-extended.  Not sure about 
Pd-l2ork, Vanilla...

I think "Edit" is the right place on GNU/Linux and Windows, and under 
the main "apple" menu on OSX.

You mean the font dialog/ font "bomb"?  I think that's per canvas, no?

A patch with all the iemguis, text, object boxes, and message boxes is 
sufficient to test the GUI settings.  For the others, if you try to do 
normal audio/midi work and let me know if you hit a snag.

Sounds like error messages related to the patch that opens when you 
right-click "Help"
on an empty part of a patch.  Except for "setting SO_BROADCAST". Not 
sure what that
relates to.
