Then, every widget that uses that font will automatically see the change. For more information see http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/x444-fonts.htm Named fonts are one of the true gems of tk. They have been part of the toolkit for probably a decade or more, and still to the best of my knowledge no popular toolkit has anything as powerful and easy to use. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
