[not in #145] # TkHeadingFont -- headings (column headings, etc) [not in #145] # TkCaptionFont -- dialog captions (primary text in alert dialogs, etc.) # TkTooltipFont -- font to use for tooltip windows # # This is a temporary solution until TIP #145 is implemented. # # Symbolic fonts listed in TIP #145: # # TkDefaultFont -- the default for all GUI items not otherwise specified. # TkFixedFont -- standard fixed width font [not used in Ttk] # TkMenuFont -- used for menu items [not used in Ttk] # TkCaptionFont -- used for window and dialog caption bars [different in Ttk] # TkSmallCaptionFont -- captions on contained windows or tool dialogs [not used] # TkIconFont -- font in use for icon captions [not used in Ttk] # TkTooltipFont -- font to use for tooltip windows # # # +++ Platform notes: # # Windows: # The default system font changed from "MS Sans Serif" to "Tahoma" # in Windows XP/Windows 2000. # # MS documentation says to use "Tahoma 8" in Windows 2000/XP, # although many MS programs still use "MS Sans Serif 8" # # Should use SystemParametersInfo() instead. # # Mac OSX / Aqua: # Quoth the Apple HIG: # The _system font_ (Lucida Grande Regular 13 pt) is used for text # in menus, dialogs, and full-size controls. # [...] Use the _view font_ (Lucida Grande Regular 12pt) as the default # font of text in lists and tables. # [...] Use the _emphasized system font_ (Lucida Grande Bold 13 pt) # sparingly. It is used for the message text in alerts. # [...] The _small system font_ (Lucida Grande Regular 11 pt) [...] # is also the default font for column headings in lists, for help tags, # and for small controls. # # Note that the font for column headings (TkHeadingFont) is # _smaller_ than the # # There's also a GetThemeFont() Appearance Manager API call # for looking up kThemeSystemFont dynamically. # # Mac classic: # Don't know, can't find *anything* on the Web about Mac pre-OSX. # Might have used Geneva.
