I am sure this has been asked a hundred times, but I could not find an answer in Google.
I have recently started programming using Tkinter and python. Before, I was heavily using Perl-Tk, so I have some experience with that kit. My system is Ubuntu 7.04. My problem are the extremly ugly bitmap fonts used by Tkinter. Here is an example: http://hell.pl/january/python_fonts_example.png I remember having a similar problem in perl-tk, and having for that two solutions: 1) choose a different font (optionAdd method of the main window with e.g. Arial 10) 2) recompiling perl-tk with an antialias option set, so that one gets fully anti-aliased fonts. First, I would like to use option (1), but I don't know enough of tkinter to find it. Furthermore, I would like to know what is the status on (2). Is tkinter using somehow its own tk libraries, or does it relies on system wide libraries? Do you have any experience with using antialiased fonts with tkinter?
