Ah, it looks like --enable-xft is a new option in Tk 8.5, and is
enabled by default. In the working Tiger TclTk 8.5 GUI, the menu
fonts look nice, compared to the 8.4 GUI.
So, disabled xft and now TclTk 8.5 GUI works on Leopard. NVIZ also
works. NVIZ still won't run on Tiger though.

Some initial tests for TclTk 8.5.1 on OSX.
10.4/Tiger: the GUI runs and seems to work properly. NVIZ won't run
- with Spearfish:
"
nviz elev=elevation.10m
alloc: invalid block: 0x5202b4: 61 0 0
[2]+ Abort trap
"
Even just "nviz --help" gives that alloc error.
10.5/Leopard: won't run at all. There appears to be some problem
between Leopard's fontconfig/freetype and TclTk 8.5 (TclTk 8.4 works).

(This is 32bit mode. In 64bit mode it made it into freetype before
crashing.)
Unfortunately, I think tcltk/X11 on OSX is forced to used the X11
freetype/fontconfig build, instead of the one I configure for GRASS
(my freetype framework).

Theory of the Universe
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly
what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly
disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely
inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has
already happened.
