[issue30310] tkFont.py assumes that all font families are encoded as ascii in Python 2.7

[Marc Culler]

Marc Culler added the comment:

The attached patch simply decodes string options to the Font._set() method using the utf8 codec.  Other options (which will be numbers) are converted to ascii strings as currently happens.

This makes it possible to use the Font.copy() method without raising an exception when the font family name is not ascii encoded.
