New issue 1866: Tkinter missing fonts...
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issue/1866/tkinter-missing-fonts

Jens Diemer:

I notice that i have much less fonts available with PyPy than with CPython.

I have made a simple test script:

```
#!python

try:
    # Python 3
    import tkinter
except ImportError:
    # Python 2
    import Tkinter as tkinter

root = tkinter.Tk()
font_families = root.tk.call("font", "families")
print("There are %i font families:" % len(font_families))
for font_family in font_families:
    print("\t%s" % font_family)
```

With CPython under linux mint 17 i get a list of 95 font families.
With PyPy (i used https://github.com/squeaky-pl/portable-pypy ) i get only this output:

```
There are 21 font families:
	fangsong ti
	fixed
	clearlyu alternate glyphs
	courier 10 pitch
	open look glyph
	bitstream charter
	song ti
	open look cursor
	newspaper
	clearlyu ligature
	mincho
	clearlyu devangari extra
	clearlyu pua
	clearlyu
	clean
	nil
	clearlyu arabic
	clearlyu devanagari
	standard symbols l
	gothic
	clearlyu arabic extra
```


The result is, that a tkinter GUI looks very ugly running with PyPy than with CPython.
