The default fonts of gitk are still helvetica and courier, so they stand out from all other apps I use. I'd prefer if gitk(tk8.5) would use Monospace and Sans as fonts (as defined by fontconfig).
the default fonts in gitk 1.5.5 look just fine to me, should the defaults really be changed, or is it just your environment, and setting the fonts in your config to your liking is just fine?
I think, it would make sense if gitk would use the default desktop fonts. But again, I'm not sure if this is actually a tk8.5 or gitk issue.
