Ugly default Tk font on Mac OS

<Tcl> test

tkfont.actual("TkDefaultFont") # OK
<Tcl> -family {Bitstream Vera Sans} -size -12 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0
tkfont.actual("systemSystemFont) # Wrong
(Actually there was a trailing "+" sign aft the last one because of amissing quote.
tkfont.actual("systemSystemFont") # Wrong
<Tcl> -family {Bitstream Vera Sans} -size 12 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0
I don't know if I need to update to the current Rcmdr, since this was earlier done without it being loaded.
No, it's not needed, the test is plain tcltk.
But I did and then here goes:
require(Rcmdr)> library(tcltk)
.Tcl("font create test")
Error in structure(.External("dotTcl", ..., PACKAGE = "tcltk"), class = "tclObj") :
[tcl] named font "test" already exists.
tkfont.actual("test") # Wrong
<Tcl> -family {Bitstream Vera Sans} -size 12 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0
tkfont.actual("TkDefaultFont") # OK
<Tcl> -family {Bitstream Vera Sans} -size -12 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0
tkfont.actual("systemSystemFont") # Wrong
<Tcl> -family {Bitstream Vera Sans} -size 12 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0
I see a "Script Window and an Output Window but admit considerable
difficulty with its very non-Mac-ish interface conventions (no cut and
paste, unclear what the submit button requires for proper operation);
Weird, because cut and paste should work AFAIK.
I seem to be getting the same font being identified when I run these tests from the "Script Window" but the Output Window was not allowing me to copy to the Clipboard in the various efforts I have made. This is the output of the Save Output as ... pulldown menu:
tkfont.actual("test")
<Tcl> -family {Bitstream Vera Sans} -size 12 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0
tkfont.actual("TkDefaultFont")
<Tcl> -family {Bitstream Vera Sans} -size -12 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0
Thanks! So it means you really get Bitstream Vera Sans by default in all possible cases. This is unexpected to me, as I thought this font was not included by default on Mac OS X. Maybe this is just the default for X11... I guess you haven't changed your default font for the system (native Quartz apps)? Regards
