First, I would like to confirm that this is not a bug in Python. Can you please install Tcl 8.5 separately, run wish, and execute label .l -text "\u1e9e" pack .l IIUC, Tk will try to find a font that contains the character. First, there is a list of fallback fonts per family. If none supports the character, there is a global fallback list. If the character is still not found, it will enumerate all fonts in the system, and invokes GetFontData, asking for the resource 0x636d6170 - this should give the list of all characters supported in the font. It would be useful to find out what specific font Tk has chosen. Unfortunately, there seems to be no direct way to find out. In the Tktest Tcl extension, there is a command "testfont subfonts <fontname>" which you can use to find out what subfonts have been loaded; this might give a clue what subfont was used. If you are willing to recompile Tk, you can augment tkWinFont.c:FindSubFontForChar to print a message when this specific char gets looked up, and what the resulting subfont was. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4281> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
