[PD] Ugly looking fonts in printed postscript patches on MacOsX

[Arda Eden]

Mr. Puckette,
Actually I am not familiar with awk and I couldn’t figure out how to use this script. Anyway, your script gave me an idea. I edited a postscript file and found the line related to the text justification. I think I can write a shell script now and mass change the necessary lines in all my .ps files by using the Gnu 'sed’ command.
Thanks.

But the fonts inside the object boxes are vertically justified to the top and that looks ugly (see the sample in attachment).
