[PD] 048 font metrics (was: pd 0.48-0test1 released)

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

So, i just built from https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/tree/dejavu
and tested here on my mac. It looks good alright, seems to render better
and stuff, but it isn't backwards compatible, seems to require more real
estate for texts and all (object size and the like) - see attachment.

So it doesn't really render the same as in purr data, like you say. That
actually looks the same as the current pd state, as well as old pd extended.

As much as I like the idea of having a new cross platform bahaviour for pd,
I was hoping it'd be the same as purr data and all... also that I wouldn't
have to reformat over 300 help patches I'm working on, plus my tutorials
which is quite numerous as well - not to mentio regular
patches/abstractions.

cheers
