Well, if you first make sure that most lines are as short as possible, 
then there's not much need to worry about lines going up. A single-outlet 
object connected to a single-inlet object that doesn't get connected 
anywhere else, can have a 2-pixel line. After that, wires going up is a 
minor trouble and/or simply a necessity.

I do lots of lines that go up, especially to an object at the same height, 
so, object-wise, it's a kind of horizontal connection, but the rendering 
goes up because outlets are at the bottom of boxes and inlets are at the 
top.

Because the font changed after the patch was made. Which is probably an 
issue for all of Pd these days...?
