Summary: small font/display change
Initial Comment: I would like to propose a minor font change to make text more readable. First, in the console, make the text regular rather than bold. Usually regular fonts are used in terminal windows and bold is only for highlights.
-text .printout.text -relief raised -bd 2 -font -*-courier-bold--normal--12-* +text .printout.text -relief raised -bd 2 -font -*-courier-regular--normal--12-* Secondly, courier is not a font meant for reading text, but rather terminals and things like that. So I propose changing the default font in text windows (not used very often) to Times Regular 14 point.
- text $name.text -relief raised -bd 2 -font -*-courier-bold--normal--12-* + text $name.text -relief raised -bd 2 -font -*-times-regular--normal--14-* Attached is a diff patch file. This should work on all platforms since those fonts are already used within Pd. Lastly is a Mac OS X only change: setting minimun line size for anti-aliasing. If set to 1 or 0, then every line will be anti-aliased. While this makes connections and circles in [bng] and such look really good, it makes boxes and messages look out of focus. Setting this to 2 makes it so only the thick audio rate connections are anti-aliased
+ set tk::mac::CGAntialiasLimit 2

Took the Helvetica and antialiasing patches... left the console in bold for now because normal is less legible on linux. Perhaps this should be set platform-dependently.
