Thanks for these responses on the font/gui issue. These are good references
for future developments in this area.

The only reliable way to change the font size in plain Pd is to use the

BOMB menu you can open with Edit->Font. However different operating
systems have different default resolutions so what looks good on
Windows doesn't look good on Linux normally (and result in comments
stretching into and over objects etc). You can also set the default
font size for new patches with the "-font 12" startup option. And
then you can select a different font face with "-typeface ..."

I thought i would try to answer your first post with my own first..
in the build im using (Pd-0.39.2-extended-test4) there is an edit menu
(only when a patch window is open) which has a "font" and "tidy up"
option. I was glad to find it too.
