I'm working in a patch for a live percussion performance and the player needs very very big numberboxes and words in order to see it properly during the performance. Is there a way to use fonts bigger than the 36 point given in the font menu?

In your patch-as-text, look for this line at the top:

If you change the 9. to something like 90, your comments, objects, and messages will be 90-point (huge!) However it doesn't make the numbers bigger than 36-point, apparently. If the numbers needed to be seen aren't interactive, you could use these huge message boxes to display the values (set $1). Otherwise, the LCD approach is good, though this is also not interactive the way number boxes are.

Give some extra space (25-30%) to the right side of any text object as font sizes vary across platforms and may cause wrapping to the next line.
