Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
font.names() lists 'symbolic' family names guaranteed to exist. 'TkDefaultFont' is the default Text widget font on a particular OS. IDLE replaces that with 'TkFixedFont', which is translated to the actual family name on each OS: Courier on Windows (ugh) and something like Monaco on macOS. Thank you for the additional information. For *nix users, removing the useless duplicates should be an improvement. (This is aside from the test issue, which could have been fixed otherwise: perhaps by inserting 'TestFont' at the top of the list and making other adjustments.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39600> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
