For my modular system that I am planning to develop this year in Pd I have to include 2 guis in ELSE, a knob and a dropmenu, knob is almos done so dropmenu is next. I will make it able to set the font size and find more things that are missing in the current few dropmenu options we have in Pd.

cheers

I just wanted to thank you for pmenu, Fred. It really fills a gap in the Pd ecosystem.

I was referring to the standard Pd zoom function, as activated with
"Edit > Zoom" In or "Ctrl-+". But looking at your screenshots, this zoom
wouldn't help here.

No, not that I know of. Not that I am that modern :-).

What you use is a hardware or system-zoom, not Pd-zoom function. pmenu
doesn't have any persistent arguments and the code doesn't contain any
font setting. So it probably uses some canvas default font (-size).

The short answer is no, there is no option to control the font size.
