A tkMessageBox question!

[Greg McFarlane]

Instead of using the built-in Tk dialogs you may like to try the Pmw
dialoges.  All options of all component widgets can be fully
configured.  For example:
    dialog = Pmw.MessageDialog(
	title = 'Simple message dialog',
	message_font = 'Times 12',
	defaultbutton = 0,
	message_text = 'A simple message dialog\nwith no callback.'
    )

The 'message_font' component option accesses the 'font' option of the
'message' component (which is a Tkinter.Label widget), so you can
reconfigure to your heart's content.
