hi,

The "-font-size" flag will affect your *new* patches. Saved patches have
their font size saved.

If you want to change the font of a saved patch use the "GUI Edit->Font
option" of that particular window, not the Pd window (the one with the
console).

Hope this helps.

In pre 0.48 Vanilla, this would change the object box font size (this seems not to be the case in 0.48 as it is now applied to to the window menu fonts???) but this didn't cut it as I needed size that was in between the GUI selectable values.

Tried with and without quotes around the variable -- nada. I tested -font-face and -font-weight and these worked as expected. Am I missing something here? Should I file a bug?
