The GUI tries to find the font size that fits a set of predefined box sizes. The one computer might have some system settings that make this process work differently then the others and this is probably out of Pd's control.
You can check a couple of things:
turn on log level 4 and verify the font and font weight that are being used, the print looks like "Using font: DejaVu Sans Mono normal"
stop Pd, edit tcl/pd-gui.tcl on two machines and uncomment the font metrics prints, then start Pd and check the log to verify the metrics are similar or vastly different: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/tcl/pd-gui.tcl#L540 https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/tcl/pd-gui.tcl#L540
As discussed in work on the font sizing for Pd 0.48, the way the system works there is no real *guarantee* the sizing and positioning can be pixel *perfect* between platforms. I think we're pretty close using the metrics from Pd-extended but systems and system settings change...

Hello list,
a small question about font size: in one of my computers the font in the
patch is bigger than in the others. That happens in the same patch with
the same settings. Is this behavior known? Pd vanilla (it happens with any version I install), windows 10.Best,
jmmmp

this is an old thread, but only now I go to see it. Turns out the problem
was a bit exotic: I usually install the latest pd version in one computer,
and then just synchronize my other computer to it. For some reason, I
wasn't updating all the folders, so I was running Pd with and old tcl
folder.
Now that everything is updated, it looks quite good.
Best,
Joao
