Yes, that's a problem with Tk, it does have platform-specific color
values and font names.
"SystemButtonText" comes from the Tk version of Windows (default value
for -foreground), and {MS Sans Serif} 8 is a Windows font name.
Uncheck the -foreground option in the attributes editor for the
button(s) in question and save your project again to remove this option
from your project.
Some fonts have the same name on both Linux and Windows, like "Arial",
"Helvetica" or "Times", maybe you could use these.
Or use the font mechanism where you create a font first, then you
specify the font object (font1, font2, etc.). Depending on the platform
your code can select a particular typeface but the widgets always refer
to font object like font1, font2, instead of "{Arial Bold} 14".
