You can use the X resource database to control the default appearance of
Tk widgets.
For example, try the following shell script before running a Tk or
Tkinter app:
for class in Label Entry Listbox Button Checkbutton Radiobutton Menu
do
echo "*$class.font: helvetica 12"
done | xrdb -merge
It will choose a nicer (non-bold) font for most widgets. These settings
will persist until logout, or until modified by a subsequent 'xrdb'
invocation.
You can get the rest of what I know from reading the 'option' manpage,
which is a Tk command that adds resources to the list for just one
instance of Tk. I believe the resource syntax is able to specify
application names, widget paths, and widget classes, though I don't know
all the particulars. I generally use the *Class.databaseName format,
and nothing else.
