I consider this dangerous behavior, by the way and submitted a patch (that was not accepted) that would prevent this garbage collection. tkFont is Tkinter's interface to tk named fonts. If you create a tkFont instance for a named font and then let it disappear, the named font disappears, even if other tkFont instances exist that map the same named font. -- Russell -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
