[PD] cross platforms issues with displaying fonts in vanilla but not in Purr Data

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

and here's good old pd extended 0.42-5 in my mac loading courier without
anything looking funny... see? not a fonts issue

extended does load courier and it looks quite similar to vanilla in windows
with courier...
