Hi,
I have set my UI font in the git-gui preferences, but it only affects
the menus and certain widgets. It does not apply the font to labels
and buttons. This creates a problem for my HiDPI display because the
fonts are quite small. I've never programmed in TCL/TK before so I
don't know exactly what is wrong, but looking at the code I see where
it's supposed to apply the font option to the widgets in a foreach
loop.
foreach class {Button Checkbutton Entry Label
Labelframe Listbox Message
Radiobutton Spinbox Text} {
option add *$class.font font_ui
}
But that doesn't seem to work. As an experiment I added the -font
parameter (according to the docs) to where the branch label is created
and that worked as expected.
${NS}::label .branch.l1 \
-text [mc "Current Branch:"] \
-anchor w \
-justify left \
-font font_ui
I don't know what is the expected behavior in terms of setting fonts,
but I would assume that is not expected? It appears to be using
TkDefaultFont instead. The default font being small is really a tk
problem, where as setting the widget font is a git-gui problem. I
created the following bug report against tk to get some feedback on
the small default font issue as well as documented a workaround to
allow per user default fonts.

Any suggestions?
