[PD] Pd 52.2 different font in console?

[Dan Wilcox]

I would say that you probably shouldn't make a layout that expects a specific console width or font size... it can always be different. But on the other hand, that is only a suggestion. :)

At least that's what I perceived, but I might be wrong and was actually checking here. My concern is that maybe the rendering changed or something, and when this issue came up here I thought I'd bring it up to see if there could be a relation.

The thing is that the text looks bigger and the text I print on the terminal when loading my 'else' external doesn't really fit as before. I was able to change the console font to '10' and it fits now, but it also looks tinier.
