It's an issue with Tk where the font name used in the output doesn't match that used by Postscript. I added a fix for this for DejaVu Sans Mono some years ago, but the quick change to Menlo missed this. I will add a check for Menlo with the find-replace code.

For example, would this be worth of opening an issue in GitHub?
no. i dont think its a "bug" in Pd.
Pd tries to use "Menlo" on macOS, because it fixes a couple of issues. if that font cannot be found, the font engine of your system will automatically use a similar font, eg "Courier". the same happens with ghostscript.
Fixed in the develop branch via:

I found that only Menlo-Regular needs to be set as Menlo-Bold is set correctly, ie. when -font-weight bold is used.
