here (debian squeeze) it is the same, however if I change your example
a little into:
self._entry = ttk.Entry(self,
font=('helvetica', '30'), textvariable=self._entryVar)
self._entry.grid()
the requested font is actually used. I guess this is a bug in man
ttk_entry, which does not mention the font configuration option.
Now when I try:
print(self._entryStyle.configure('TEntry'))
the result is
{'padding': 1, 'relief': 'sunken', 'fieldbackground': 'white'}
whereas
print(self._entry.cget('font'))
returns
TkTextFont
So apparently the default entry style does not define a font at all, but
the ttk entry uses a standard tk font instead and ignores fonts defined
in styles.
Regards
Michael
