The reported error is in regard to an option for a
text item on a canvas widget, not an option for the text
widget. Those two concepts share the same name--
"text"-- but that is it.
tk -> text widget = powerful multiline text display, lots of control over
text/font settings, can embed images and other tk widgets
tk -> canvas -> text item = limited text display inside a prexisting canvas,
limited control over text/font, no embedding
