Howdy,

No, not yet. But I think you've just given a shove to get started on  
it. It shouldn't be too hard but I'll have to test it out. I know  
that I tend to want text in graphics to be a bit smaller but then  
\small will give a nice relative font.

To use mathpazo in pdftricks graphics you can include a \usepackage 
{mathpazo} within the psinputs environment since that goes into the  
common tmp.inputs file.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
