Hi
ttk.Entry and ttk.Label use TkDefaultFont therefore changing TkFixedFont will not work.
use
style.configure("TLabel", font=yourfont)
style.configure("TEntry", font=yourfont)

Background: with the last update my Arch Linux installation changed its standard monospace font to Inconsolata. I like this font, it works well in all my applications with one exception: in tkinter scripts all text using monospace is rendered like this:t h i s l o o k s b a d . This seems to be a rather complicated sort of bug, not located in Tcl/Tk or tkinter itself, as far as I could find out. So for the time being I'd like to change the font in tkinter scripts - but not by styling every single widget class I use. I tried two things: styling ttk.Widget and reconfiguring TkFixedfont. In case it's important: Python version is 3.8.3. Results: defining a style for ttk.Widget doesn't change anything: import tkinter as tk from tkinter import ttk from tkinter import font def main(): root = tk.Tk() veramono = font.Font(family="Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", size=9) # Doesn't change anything: #ttk.Style().configure("TWidget", font=veramono) # Doesn't change anything either: verastyle = ttk.Style() verastyle.configure("TWidget", font=veramono) root.title("Titelschrift?") ttk.Label(root, text="Wie sieht das aus?").pack( side="top", padx=5, pady=5) versuchstext = tk.StringVar() versuchstext.set("Und das hier?") ttk.Entry(root, textvariable=versuchstext).pack( side="top", padx=5, pady=5) root.mainloop() if __name__ == "__main__": main() Initializing Label and Entry with "style=verastyle" results in this exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./changefont.pyw", line 26, in <module> main() File "./changefont.pyw", line 17, in main ttk.Label(root, text="Wie sieht das aus?", File "/usr/lib/python3.8/tkinter/ttk.py", line 759, in __init__ Widget.__init__(self, master, "ttk::label", kw) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/tkinter/ttk.py", line 557, in __init__ tkinter.Widget.__init__(self, master, widgetname, kw=kw) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/tkinter/__init__.py", line 2567, in __init__ self.tk.call( _tkinter.TclError: Layout <tkinter.ttk.Style object at 0x7f3fc412a6a0> not found And trying to reconfigure TkFixedFont like this: def main(): root = tk.Tk() fix = font.nametofont("TkFixedFont") fix.configure(family="Bitstream Vera Sans Mono") root.title("Titelschrift?") ttk.Label(root, text="Wie sieht das aus?", font=fix).pack( side="top", padx=5, pady=5) versuchstext = tk.StringVar() versuchstext.set("Und das hier?") ttk.Entry(root, textvariable=versuchstext).pack( side="top", padx=5, pady=5) root.mainloop() doesn't change anything. What's the right way to do this? Changing the standard monospace font for all of the installation would be possible, of course, but, as I said, it's quite nice for everything else.
