If you change the log level to "all", you can see the TK version print to double check.

Don't build with "make app", use the app scripts directly "make app" builds with the old TK 8.4 that is included with the Pd sources.. There is *tons* of info in mac/README.txt...

But now I don't even know if I was checking the real thing when I built it... maybe it looks great and not too different than 0.47, plus it makes the font issue consistent between platforms (but not windows yet, right?).

Yes, that's why I test with multiple builds. Now you're starting to see what I mean by giving up some things looking "exactly" the same in a cross platform program...
