Hi Matt,
is there a way to get osx to remember font settings? It used to work automatically, but now it doesn't.
A half-solution: There's an input box labeled "Startup flags" under Wish -> Preferences -> Startup..., and you may set
-font-size 16
(or whatever suits you) there. Unfortunately, though expectedly, this only affects patches created anew. When I open an existing patch or help file, it is still rendered using the default small font. The same goes for the main Pd window.

More startup flags: pd -help

Cheers, Albert.
