I agree, Tkinter still gets a lot of bad feedback about its look but with ttk that's no longer justified. wxPython still has the edge for fully featured GUI work but for basic GUI work Tkinter/ttk is easier and works out of the box with most python installations.

I think I solved it, actually.. as I was typing this up, I wondered in
passing about this:
of the other fonts I configured for the other tags. Do I need to keep
other references to the tkFont objects somewhere else or something?
and I think that was it. I recoded it so that I store the Font objects
independently of the tag configuration call, in case they were getting
destroyed accidentally somewhere (I know you have to do that with other
Tk objects such as images), and now I can't get the app to fail.
If interested, here's the new setup code:
| f=Tkinter.Text(self, ...)
|
| self.font_tags = {}
| for tag, weight, slant, others in (
|('rm', tkFont.NORMAL, tkFont.ROMAN, {}),
|('bf', tkFont.BOLD, tkFont.ROMAN, {}),
|('it', tkFont.NORMAL, tkFont.ITALIC, {}),
|('bi', tkFont.BOLD, tkFont.ITALIC, {}),
|('ref',tkFont.NORMAL, tkFont.ITALIC, {'foreground':'blue',
'underline':True}),
| ):
| self.font_tags[tag] = tkFont.Font(family='Helvetica', size=10,
weight=weight, slant=slant)
| f.tag_config(tag, font=self.font_tags[tag], **others)
(Added | in the left column to hopefully get the text to indent right
with some mail readers. That's not part of the code, of course.)
