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

Times!? please no!
Keep courier or use a sans-serif like helvetica.
I think switching to tk font specs {helvetica -12 bold| would be better than sticking with the funny X11 font spec.
My 2cents.
Times is just too fine for small text. sans-serif is the way to go.

It seems, your patch doesn't work on latest Pd-CVS, where fonts are now collected in a central place. See SF-CVS at: http://tinyurl.com/8af4v
