sorry - thought has just occurred to me - my basic problem is text formatting, as variable width fonts make it difficult to get two things to line up under one another by using spaces as padding - so how would the Text widget have helped me with this ? or - Luxury ! - can I set a tab stop in pixels ? - maybe I can catch a general clue here... - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
