I guess I've actually got to fix my build process now :)

Steve, thank you for patching all current versions.  Previous policy has been to freeze tcl/tk x.y.z in python x.y because tk x.y.z may include a few enhancements among the bug fixes and hence indirectly add new features to tkinter in python x.y.z.  However ...

E.Paine's report for this bugfix
"2021-09-21 (bug)[033886] Win: hang in font loading (e-paine,vogel)"
was the result of #45103, based on an IDLE user's SO question about IDLE's config dialog hanging.  It turned out that adding a particular font (Phaistos) to Windows was the cause, and the fix was to remove it. Ned's link specifically  says they fixed " - Windows loading of the Phaistos font.", so I can now close our #45103.

Fine with me if we continue to update tcl/tk 8.6.z as possible on Windows as well as Mac.  Switching to 8.7, when released, would likely have to wait for discussion and a new Python version, which now is never too far away.

Do I understand properly, that the macOS build hasn't been updated yet?

It would be really great if Python 3.10.1 for macOS would come with Tcl/Tk 8.6.12, as it is supposed to fix a nasty crash with Spanish keyboard.

Not to worry, the Tk for the macOS 3.10.1 will be updated. I need to do some more testing first. (BTW, I assume you are referring to this Tk issue: https://core.tcl-lang.org/tk/tktview/1626ed65b879bd76db99. The most recent 3.11.0 alpha preview has a pre-release of 8.6.12 and I can confirm that the Cmd-` with the Spanish keyboard no longer crashes with it.)
