Ok retina Mac people, try this: http://docs.danomatika.com/Pd-0.46-0-64bit-retina.app.zip
 
One problem is that the normal 10 point fonts are too thin IMO at the retina resolution:

Ok got it working. I had to touch the Pd app so the OS would reload the plist. Here's some comparison screenshots:

Update:

I updated the Wish binary aka MacOS/Pd in the Pd-0.46-0 from Miller's site with the one from my Tk 8.5 Wish.app. Enabling the NSHighResolutionCapable key in the Info.plist isn't working though. In any case, using TK 8.5 gives me nonaliased fonts & removes the extra "Preferences" entry in the File menu.

As it says in pd/mac/README.txt:
Note: The "wish-shell.tgz" is an archive of this app I found on my mac:
System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.4/Resources/Wish Shell.app
A smarter version of the scripts ought to be able to find that file
automatically on your system so I wouldn't have to include it here.
We just need to use the 8.5 version of Wish. I can put together a script to do this if you want.

I'll give this a look when I have some time.

Pd's app structure is copied from "Wish Shell.app" - it might work simply to
build it using a different version of wish as a base.  If you want to try that
yourself, I think you can just rebuild Pd using the build-macosx script in
pd/mac, after having made a new version of a directory "stuff" containing
wish-shell.tgz (an archive of whatever wish shell version you want) and the
two auxilliary files pd.icns and pd-file.icns

Does anyone know how I can clue Pd-vanilla in on using Tcl 8.5 instead of 8.4? I tried changing the require version in pd-gui.tcl but no dice:

version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.4, need 8.5
   while executing
"package require Tcl 8.5"

OSX 10.8 has both 8.4 & 8.5 built in and it seems the default tclsh points to the 8.5 install, but it seems the method Pd uses to find Tcl & Wish.app end up choosing 8.4 instead.

Anyway, I'm asking mainly because with 8.5 you can get "retina" screen enabled fonts which are nice and crisp as opposed to Pd's current blurry fonts. I remember trying this about 6 months ago after I got the machine but ran into the same problem and moved on. Would be nice to provide a patch and some info on how to make it work.
