Default fixed font specification?

Default fixed font specification?

I've integrated insight into the Bootable Cluster CD (BCCD,
http://bccd.cs.uni.edu), and think that it's really a great gdb front end for
the BCCD project.

One thing about the BCCD that is an issue is the small size (<210MB so as to
fit on a 3" CD), which means that the font selection on the image is limted.
By default, the tk back end uses a less-than-pleasing font and I would like to
know if there's a way to override this at runtime or compile time.

Thanks,

Yes, there are several ways to do it. The easiest is to change libui's
look-and-feel definitions, which define the "standard" font (which is
called "global/fixed".

You can edit the proc standard_look_and_feel in
src/libgui/library/looknfeel.tcl. There's a whole bunch of default font
types that are set (fixed, bold, status, italic) for both windows and
unix varieties.

Excellent.  Thanks for the pointer in the src.
