Tk (as of 8.4) uses a different (smaller, lighter) font for message boxes --- including error messages --- than for the rest of the widgets, at least by default. I have always thought this was a cosmetic glitch, but now I have a huge screen at work and the message font has become simply unreadable. How can I reconfigure tk to use the ubiquitous bold Helvetica for message boxes too?
I owned the Osterhout book at one time but IIRC it didn't answer this either.
