I am guessing that you could do some font sizing like is in pd-devel
0.41. Check out pdtk_pd_startup in pd/src/u_main.tk. There you can
find the font measuring code. Basically, it is mapping a font to Pd's
font size numbers:
foreach i {8 9 10 12 14 16 18 24 30 36} {
set font [format {{%s} %d %s} $fontname_from_pd $i
$fontweight_from_pd]
set pd_fontlist [linsert $pd_fontlist 100000 $font]
set width0 [font measure $font x]
set height0 [lindex [font metrics $font] 5]
set fontlist [concat $fontlist $i [font measure $font x] \
[lindex [font metrics $font] 5]]
}

it can change entire economies. - Amy Smith
