Hello all,
I did now some further investigation on this topic and I thought I
might share what I found here, for the archives :)
It seems that in fact the problem is the name of the postscript font
created by Tk. Tk itself treats all font names case insensitive, so
"cOMiC SanS mS" is equivalent w

Hello,
It looks like that postscript() function cannot render every font with no
obvious reason. "Renderable" fonts are rendered correctly regardless of
whether they contain spaces or not... However it seems that, alternatively,
we can achieve what we want through the Image, ImageDraw and ImageFon

Hello,
I found some useful stuff at:
http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TkCmd/canvas.htm(Find "-fontmap" there)
The above document recommends a notation like: *
-*-Courier-Bold-R-Normal--*-120-
*I think this notation will be like this for those fonts that have spaces:
*"-*-DejaVu Serif Condensed-Bold
Hello,
It seems to me that for the most part, you are having issues with font names
that have spaces between the words making up the font name. For example:
"DejaVu Sans Condensed"
If there are spaces between words, you should define self.font as a tuple:
self.font = ("DejaVu Sans Condensed",)
Thanks Firat for the reply,

In addition to my previous e-mail, I want to add the following link in which
there are some explanations and an example code for creating postscript.
However the following is only useful if you are into Tcl/Tk:

Hello,
Unfortunately there are not enough documentation about Python-tk postscript
manipulation. Information is scattered here and there.
A sample code could be like this:

Hello all,
I am stuck here with a strange problem creating postscript from a
Tkinter Canvas (the OS is debian linux).
I found that Canvas.postscript() fails to render some fonts correctly and
uses something like helvetica or courier (I guess) instead. From what the
canvas man page says, I thought
