[PD] [PD-announce] pd 0.48-0test1 released

[Miller Puckette]

Sure enough - with TK 8.5, font sizes are no longer integers; the
"font metrics" command appears to return the next-higher integer
sizes (thus throwing off box sizes and messing up selecting text within
boxes).

I'm not sure what to do - try to adapt Pd to deal with fractional font
sizes, or find some way to force TK 5 to use integer-sized fonts, or
just give up and use 8.4 for another cycle...

Incidentally, 8.4 isn't yet building on my MacOS 10.6... maybe I can just
include the system-provided one :)
