I know that, otherwise Tk will complain "expected an integer but got
'sans'" or so :)
I thought it might have something to do with the spaces first, too, but
as I mentioned "andale mono" or "penguin attack" work, wheras "clean" or
"avantgarde" don't.

I already used the font names this way, here I get all lower case variants
of all font names (like "dejavu sans") from tkFont.families().
I am really baffled with this (o.O)
I tried some more with the fontmap, I changed the font in your example
into:
self.font = tkFont.Font(family="courier", weight='normal', size=43)
and changed the first lines of create_ps() into:
root.tk.call("set", "fontMap(%s)" % self.font, ('verdana-bold', 43))
self.ps = self.canvas.postscript(fontmap='fontMap')
however if I change "verdana-bold" into "verdana" or "verdana-normal" it does
*not* work and the postscript uses "courier" (as seen on the screen).
I was not able yet to add a font name containing white space to the fontmap
though :(
Regards
Michael
