title: Anti-aliased fonts in tkinter?
body: <p>Is there a way to get anti-aliased fonts in tkinter? If I increase the size of the default font like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>default_font = tkFont.nametofont("TkDefaultFont")
  default_font.configure(size=32)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the text comes out jagged.</p>
  
  <p>Here is some version information:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Python 2.7.9 (default, May  6 2015, 09:33:48) 
  &gt;&gt;&gt; Tkinter.__version__
  '$Revision: 81008 $
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using Gentoo Linux and have Tk 8.5 installed (which i believe should support anti-aliased fonts):</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ equery l tk
  [IP-] [  ] dev-lang/tk-8.5.17:0/8.5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>EDIT: adding this full MWE to describe what I'm doing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from Tkinter import *
  import tkFont
  from ttk import *
  
  root = Tk()
  note = Notebook(root)
  
  default_font = tkFont.nametofont("TkDefaultFont")
  default_font.configure(size=48)
  
  tab1 = Frame(note)
  tab2 = Frame(note)
  Button(tab1, text='Exit', command=root.destroy).pack(padx=100, pady=100)
  
  note.add(tab1, text = "Curvy Words")
  note.add(tab2, text = "Aliased")
  note.pack()
  root.mainloop()
  exit()
  </code></pre>
