AFAIK, this is not possible with a listbox. You can however quite easily
emulate the behaviour of a listbox with a text widget, which allows to mix
fonts and colors in any way you like.
I did it once by creating a sub-class of Tkinter.Text (cannot post the
code here - closed source, sorry...) and all I had to do was:
- make sure the text widget had its state to DISABLED all the time, except
when modifying it;
- removing all the bindings defined in the text widgets (use
widget.bind_class('Text') to get all the events, then widget.bind(event,
lambda e: 'break') to remove them);
- define a new binding for a button click selecting the line under the
cursor;
- define the insert, delete and getcurselection methods, taking care of
treating the special index END.
All in all, this was just a few dozen lines.
