I think that, since font sizes now differ between platforms, it's probably OK to introduce a new, uniform font size as long as it doesn't exceed that of any currently used one by more than about a pixel... and indeed, it will be a huge benefit to get this straightened out at last!

Of course having Pd look the same on all platforms is a good goal, and Miller also supported this in the past. I'm not against solving this at all. But of course incompatibilities should be kept to a minimum, I hope you'll agree with that. (Besides the OS-issues, no versions of MSP-Pd that I've used, had size-incompatibilities when using the same font.)
I'm just a bit worrind: Now that you've released new fonts into the (pd-extended) wild, there's an additional, new variable to consider with regard to compatibility when going further with font enhancements.
