[PD] ugly font hack

[marco trevisani]

Ijust got a laptop and i see your point.
It would be nice, a part for the usual font size in .pdrc, if it would be 
possible to set the general fonts in the same .pdrc, something like

-setfont --helvetica-*-*-* etc.... or simply 7x13 etc...

is that too complicate, well better said, too irrilevant? :-)
