[PD] Fwd: Re: linux: "-font-size" startup flag -- does this work?

[Alexander Connor]

Thank you for these answers.  

Editing the Pd text file wasn't really much of a solution for me since I'm dealing with a very large patch with many subpatches which would all have to be changed; I was really looking for a way to scale everything at once and back again should the need arise.

However it would appear that there is basically no solution to this problem until font rendering is fixed.

Guess I'll have to stick with my EOLs for now.  Too bad.  I really wanted to start distributing this patch.  I tried to mostly use the GUI object fonts that aren't affected by this in the "up front" user areas of the patch but there's a few areas such as the symbol boxes where you can't get around this.   It completely  messes up the neatly spaced background "guts" that I set up to make it easier to read for anyone who wanted to make mods.   Lots of compact tightly aligned spacing going on.  As I said it's very large (been working on it for years) and reformatting just to correct for this error doesn't seem worth it especially if I have to switch it all back when (if?) the problem is corrected in Pd.
