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

[Dan Wilcox]

This was fixed in extended years ago and the font handling improvements have simply not been ported to Vanilla. Your point is clear, what is not clear is (as usual) who is going to spend the time to port Hans' working solution to vanilla and in such a way as to have it accepted.
