[PD] font family DejaVu Sans Mono not found on piCore

[Antoine Rousseau]

Nevermind, the tcl/tk packages proposed by the distribution were simply not
compiled with truetype support.
I took an older version of tcl/tk from raspbian and I rebuilt the tk.tcz
and tcl.tcz files (tiny core packages)  from that, and now it works, I can
edit readable patches from ssh!
