Pd uses almost all of the available widgets in Tk: http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/Keywords/W.htm#widget
The 'text' widget doesn't respond to -size: http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/text.htm
The reported error is in regard to an option for a text item on a canvas widget, not an option for the text widget. Those two concepts share the same name-- "text"-- but that is it.
tk -> text widget = powerful multiline text display, lots of control over text/font settings, can embed images and other tk widgets tk -> canvas -> text item = limited text display inside a prexisting canvas, limited control over text/font, no embedding

You need to specify the point or pixel size as part of the font: $tkcanvas itemconfigure text -fill red -font {Helvetica 16} ;# points $tkcanvas itemconfigure text -fill red -font {Helvetica -16} ;# negative is pixels
You can also create a 'font' to have that setting in one spot: http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/font.htm
Please add anything you find useful to the wiki: http://puredata.info/docs/guiplugins/GUIPlugins/

patches in performance mode. question: is there a list / documentation of the gui elements? other than reading over the pd-gui tcl code?
without knowing much i was doing things like:
$tkcanvas itemconfigure text -fill red -font Helvetica -size 16
but -size gives me error
so maybe there is something more other than a trial and error approach or use of css knowledge which obviously does not completely translate.
