[PD] Pd vanilla font size

[João Pais]

this is an old thread, but only now I go to see it. Turns out the problem  
was a bit exotic: I usually install the latest pd version in one computer,  
and then just synchronize my other computer to it. For some reason, I  
wasn't updating all the folders, so I was running Pd with and old tcl  
folder.
Now that everything is updated, it looks quite good.

Best,

Joao
