Hint: the bold version of a font is its own font. You could have the
non-bold font installed, but not the bold font. Here's a link on how to
install fonts: http://karmak.org/archive/2004/06/ttfonts.html?lang=en
*If* that is the reason for your lack of bold-ness in gitk.
Also, I see from my install log that it does do something with fonts:
DEST /usr/share/git-gui/lib
INSTALL 644 tclIndex
INSTALL 644 about.tcl
INSTALL 644 blame.tcl
INSTALL 644 branch_checkout.tcl
INSTALL 644 branch_create.tcl
INSTALL 644 branch_delete.tcl
INSTALL 644 branch_rename.tcl
INSTALL 644 branch.tcl
INSTALL 644 browser.tcl
INSTALL 644 checkout_op.tcl
INSTALL 644 choose_font.tcl
I'm not sure how closely gitk and git-gui are tied together.
Hope this helps some more.
v/r,
neal
