Is it possible to set (and change) font and font size of objects like comment and ubumenu using thispatcher or (preferably) js? Looking at text versions of patchers, it appears that there's a many-digits number at the end of the comment description which determines the font settings. Is there a way to code and decode this number in a predictable way, so I can set any font and any size? Or an other, more straightforward way?

I tried out a couple things, seems to me that when you leave out:

the last two digits - 8 gives the font size.

I haven't found out anything about font faces tho. They influence the magic number greatly, but I don't know in what way.

that font sizes do work.

I think the magic numbers also refer to entire font sets, as going up one will increase the font size through a number of sizes, then switch to the next font in the list. As far as a map, that would take some time...
