The next "best bet for now" is to file a bug report about the quotes not being handled well -> https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/579

This makes it far more likely for the issue to be fixed instead of relying on work arounds forever. :P

Just as "pd -font-face "font name with spaces"" (yes, ordinary straight double quotes) works from the command line, it works in shell scripts, too, so that is probably the best bet for now, no?
