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

[Arda Eden]

Thanks for your interest Funs.
This is actually what I figured out. I wrote a script using Gnu 'sed' and now I am able to change multiple ps files at once. 13 0 -0.5 0 works for my case. :)

(I guess something with mono and bold, but I don't know exactly for I changed the default to UbuntuMono-Bold). Do the same trick again with search and replace and try again until you like the result. If you have lots of files it would make sense to write a script for the search and replace thing.
