font size in Tcl/Tk

[Christian Kurtsiefer]

Hi,

don't know if anyone out there is still playing with Tcl/Tk, but we have 
a collection of glue software for measurement apps we would like to get 
running on the olpc, but the I somehow cannot manage to increase the 
font size - I had a look at the micropolis code, but it seems that it 
also uses only very tiny fonts in the packed Activity.

Is anyone out there who is able to complete this code snippet to 
increase the font size on the olpc (I have a built 703)?

#!/usr/bin/wish
label .l -text "some text"
pack .l

I tried variations of the following line

.l configure -font 6x13

with the few other fonts than 6x13 showing up with xlsfonts, but without 
any success in changing something apparent. Anyone knows the root cause 
of the problem? Is this related to the issue that it is at least not 
straightforward to start an xterm with larger font sizes?

thanks!
