New submission from mark saaltink :
Tkinter, since tk 8.5 apparently, does not find all the fonts that tk knows
about.
I'm using Python 2.6.5 on Linux but have seen this on previous versions. I
have added the font with "xset fp+ "". The font is
Richard Jones' zed font, available from
http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/rej/Zedfont/latest/
xlsfonts shows the font.
tk sees the font; in wish if I type "font families" there it is:
% font families
{fangsong ti} fixed {clearlyu alternate glyphs} charter lucidatypewriter
zedfont {latin modern roman} ...
In Tkinter I do not see the font:
>>> from Tkinter import *
>>> r = Tk()
>>> import tkFont
>>> tkFont.families(r)
... no sign of the zedfont here.
Is this expected behaviour? Is there another way to install the font that
avoids this problem?
