Re: tk 8.5 vs 8.4: "font actual" differences

* "Larry W. Virden" <lvirden@xxxxxxxxx>
| Two issues here, I think. First, I'd report this one as a bug - if
| your machine has helvetica, and in 8.4 was getting helvetica when
| asked, and now doesn't... that sounds strange.

It seems to be related to --enable-xft/--disable-xft at 'configure'
time. If I use --disable-xft, I get helvetica again.

| Second, I notice on http://wiki.tcl.tk/20361 that someone says that
| the text widget default changed from a proportional to a fixed width
| font. I wonder if that change is wider than just the text widget...

Seems unrelated, since I explicitely ask for a certain font in the
canvas...
