Hi!

In order to provide a nice looking default font for Idle on the Linux platform
the person responsible for
EditorWindow.py maybe wants to change the code block

        text['yscrollcommand'] = vbar.set
        if sys.platform[:3] == 'win':
            text['font'] = ("lucida console", 8)
#            text['font'] = ("courier new", 10)
        text_frame.pack(side=LEFT, fill=BOTH, expand=1)
        text.pack(side=TOP, fill=BOTH, expand=1)
        text.focus_set()

to look like

        text['yscrollcommand'] = vbar.set
        if sys.platform[:3] == 'win':
            text['font'] = ("lucida console", 8)
#            text['font'] = ("courier new", 10)
        if sys.platform[:5] == 'linux':
            text['font'] = ("fixed", 12)
        text_frame.pack(side=LEFT, fill=BOTH, expand=1)
        text.pack(side=TOP, fill=BOTH, expand=1)
        text.focus_set()

Regards,
Markus
