Well there're just font details set. To me this looks even
very consistent. But this does not answer my question how to
set the themes base font. All this seems to have happend
already at this point. I'd even set up a decent new theme
for Tk as I did for GTK as well, but I do not know how.

Plus, these lines give me now clue why some fonts do not
respect those set within Scid while others do.

Pascal, please. This attitude is really a bit difficult in
working on a project that more than one person is meant to
use.

This is perfectly fine with me.

What I refer to is simply that _some_ tags get Helvetica
while others respect the fonts I set up to use. I'd like to
get this in sync again. For this I fear I've to learn how
to create a theme for Tk, but well. (I'm not searching the
hackers solution, but how to do it right.)

Well, I'm aware of the meaning of a style and even strongly
support it. I'd be very happy e.g. if we can get rid of all
those hard coded font size and colour settings within Scid
and use some kind of theming for this. Then I could set all
the current light grays to some darker shade, set all hard
coded white areas to #f4f4e0 which is much easier to the eye
and so on.

Anyway, my question still persists: HOW can I set the fonts
for Tk on per user level, such that Scid use them
consistently? I'm fine with something like "use .Xdefaults
and there ..." or "you've to set up a new style by using ...
you can use ... as an example" or whatever. But I've no clue
how the Tk people implemented theming, and they obviously
ignore the established theming interfaces like Gnome/Gtk.

Alternatively: are there just a hand full of lines missing
in the startup section you mentioned? E.g. I see no
DropDownList (however it may be called) or label font there.
Maybe that's already the trick? I've no clue. Really.

And I do not understand why e.g. Help/Close button in
Maintanance get a Helvetica while now the first/last buttons
in header search are ok. Though both are buttons, I guess.
