Thank you! > tkinter seems far less susceptible to that. Mostly with tkinter the > platform issues are true platform issues (font availability, file > paths, etc). Yes because Tkinter is lacking. Because Tkinter is not even half the library that wx is. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
