Author KDE and Gnome fonts
Mats

While using tileqt I thought it should be appropriate to also pick
some standard fonts used by KDE. On my SUSE 10 box it says "Sans Serif
10" but if I do 'font families' in wish I wont see it. And if I
configure a font I just get -family fixed as a fallback. Similar on
Gnome for "Sans". Tk finds a lot of font families but not these.
Anyone knows?

The fonts you don't see are those using the new X font system based on
Xft. Tk doesn't have Xft support yet, but it's planned for version 8.5
(see http://wiki.tcl.tk/10630). Get tcl/tk 8.5a5 from
http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/8.5.html or the latest CVS version, then
configure tk with the --enable-xft switch and you should see all the fonts.

Thanks. That also explains the:
if {![catch {tk::pkgconfig get fontsystem} fs] && $fs eq "xft"} {
in tile.
