Hi Sorin,
I think the following will do what you want (where tk is your main window):
tk.option_add("*font", "-*-*-*-I-*--*-*-*-*-*-*")
For example:
from Tkinter import *
tk = Tk()
tk.option_add("*font", "-*-*-*-I-*--*-*-*-*-*-*")
Label(tk, text="Hello").pack(side=TOP)
Button(tk, text="Hello").pack(side=TOP)
e1=Entry(tk)
e1.pack(side=TOP)
e1.insert(END, "Hello")
tk.mainloop()
For background, look at:

And on x fonts:
