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
