IDLE - adjust fonts in KDE?

[Stephen Boulet]

I was under the impression that idle used different default fonts for linux 
than for windows?

A second issue is anti-aliasing of fonts. As far as I know, tkinter on 
linux/unix doesn't have font anti-aliasing. I believe (but might be wrong) 
that the gui toolkit has to use XFree86's XRender extension, and tkinter does 
not (probably because tcltk does not).

But it would be a very nice addition ...
