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-R-Normal--*-120-*" * 2010/8/24 Michael Lange <klappn...@web.de> > Thanks Firat for the reply, > > Thus spoketh Firat Ozgul <ozgulfi...@gmail.com> > unto us on Tue, 24 Aug 2010 09:16:41 +0300: > > > Hello, > > > > Unfortunately there are not enough documentation about Python-tk > > postscript manipulation.
