Tkinter, since tk 8.5 apparently, does not find all the fonts that tk knows about. I'm using Python 2.6.5 on Linux but have seen this on previous versions. I have added the font with "xset fp+ <some font directory>"". The font is Richard Jones' zed font, available from http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/rej/Zedfont/latest/ xlsfonts shows the font. tk sees the font; in wish if I type "font families" there it is: % font families {fangsong ti} fixed {clearlyu alternate glyphs} charter lucidatypewriter zedfont {latin modern roman} ... In Tkinter I do not see the font: >>> from Tkinter import * >>> r = Tk() >>> import tkFont >>> tkFont.families(r) ... no sign of the zedfont here. Is this expected behaviour? Is there another way to install the font that avoids this problem? |

2.7 is in security-fix only mode. I am assuming that this is still a problem in 2.7 (and possibly 3.x). It would be good to confirm this. |

Terry meant 2.6 is in security fix only mode. 2.7 will get bug fixes for an extended period. |

I built the latest 2.7, with tk/tcl 8.5, and see the same problem. |
