That's a real pity, because it is very powerful.

Try removing ~/.gitk, or look into it and try changing the font.
Here is mine, for reference:

set mainfont {Helvetica 11}
set textfont {Courier 11}
set uifont {Helvetica 9 bold}
set tabstop 8
set findmergefiles 0
set maxgraphpct 50
set maxwidth 16
set cmitmode patch
set wrapcomment none
set showneartags 1
set showlocalchanges 1
set bgcolor white
set fgcolor black
set colors {green red blue magenta darkgrey brown orange}
set diffcolors {red "#00a000" blue}
set selectbgcolor gray85
set geometry(main) 1005x850+1417+41
set geometry(topwidth) 1001
set geometry(topheight) 458
set geometry(pwsash0) "684 2"
set geometry(pwsash1) "878 2"
set geometry(botwidth) 725
set geometry(botheight) 372
set permviews {}
