You can start pd with "-font 10", but that only affects the default
font size for newly created patches, IIR. 

Other than that, you would have to change the first line in every
patch to end in " 10;" 

With a little bit of Perl or Python scripting, this is easy to do.
in Python for example like: 

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

FONT = '10'
FILE = sys.argv[1]

lines = open(FILE, 'r').readlines()
first = lines[0].split()
first[-1] = '''%s;\n''' % FONT

lines[0] = ' '.join(first)

out = open(FILE, 'w')
out.write(''.join(lines))


ciao
