Hello Orm,
I have noticed this problem in windoes (except the text ends up too small) things work great in linux though. What platform as you using?
If its any consolation I have found the same problem in Jmax and ocasionally in Max!!

Hi,
I have some problems concerning font usage in pd.
If I open help files from pd, the object boxes and comments often overlap and make it quite unreadable. Changing the default font to a smaller size (with the -font flag at startup) doesn't help much, as the default size is 10 pt and it can only be changed to 8pt, making everything so small that it can't easily be read.
In general, I'm not especially happy with the courier bold font, since it needs a big font size in order to be readable. I find other fonts, like plain helvetica or my console font much easier to read even at very small sizes.
My questions:
if (Is there any preconceived method in pd to change the default font to something else?)
then { how is it done? }
else { how can it be accomplished by changing the sources? }
Yours, Orm
