Hi Matt,

A half-solution: There's an input box labeled "Startup flags" under Wish
-> Preferences -> Startup..., and you may set

-font-size 16

(or whatever suits you) there. Unfortunately, though expectedly, this
only affects patches created anew. When I open an existing patch or help
file, it is still rendered using the default small font. The same goes
for the main Pd window.

More startup flags: pd -help

Cheers,
