Hi pd-list,
this must be a FAQ, but I can't find the answer:
How can I change the default font size in pd?
If I open patches from e.g. "Pure Documentation..." I always have a "courier 12" font selected and with this the layout of the patch is totally messed up. So the first thing I alway do is open the FONT BOMB and change everything to size 10. I would like this to be the default font right from the start.
(I am running pd under linux and my X server is set to have a dpi of 100, if that matters anyhow.)

"pd -fn size" ?
actually i wish you could set the font too. the default courier font (being serif) doesn't scale down very nicely when trying to be pixel-parsimonious on a laptop display. i have hacked my .tk to use "fixed" but it was less that elegant.

This message could be help. http://iem.kug.ac.at/mailinglists/pd-list/2001-04//0023.html
and
Editing the first line of raw .pd file, from #N canvas 335 42 615 436 12; ~~ to
#N canvas 335 42 615 436 10;
by a text editor or some thing like "one-liners" will change the font size.

HI all,
Well, the font situation in Pd is miserable... screen dimensions of patches are in pixels, so Pd looks around for fonts to fit within limiting pixel sizes. Rigth now, "12 point" actually means "the largest font I could find not exceeding 16 pixels high". Apparently I have to check also that the width doesn't exceed some appropriate limit too; I'll fix this and see if it's any better.
About getting a nicer selection of fonts in general, I wish I knew how to do it in a way that will work on arbitrary displays. On my machine "courier" works way better than "fixed". If worst comes to worst I might have to invent some font selection dialogue...
cheers Miller
