Hello out there,
I want to configure the font of a ttk::radiobutton - but how?
I found 'ttk::style element names', but the call returned a list
starting (when sorted) with 'Combobox.background' and ending with 'Vertical.Scrollbar.uparrow' - but no mention of either 'radiobutton'
or 'label'.
I am out of ideas. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Assuming you don't want all your radiobuttons to have the special font,
invent a name for a style that inherits from the normal style for a radiobutton; TRadiobutton. Configure the font for that derived style.
Then use that style for your radiobutton:

ttk::style configure Fixed.TRadiobutton -font TkFixedFont
ttk::radiobutton .b -style Fixed.TRadiobutton -text Hello

Hi Schelte,
you saved my day, many thanks (and so fast, too).
Maybe one more question:
Is there some source (tutorial, collection of texts, or similar)
where one could learn the basics of working with styles? Anthing?
Thanks again
Helmut

That's great, Csaba, thank you. I've been looking for ages for something
that explained Ttk styles in a way that was natural to me, and this may
well be it. Is there any thing similar to explain how to modify layouts? (Assuming it's possible.)

Alan

If you go to the Wiki page https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/ and type
"ttk::style layout" into the Search field, you will get a series of
useful articles about this subject.

Yes, Helmut,
15 years ago, I figured out how to change the fonts of all ttk widgets.
You normally find this info on the wiki widget page ;-)
