[PATCH 5/5] gitk: Use consistent font for all text input fields

From
MHMark Hills <mark@pogo.org.uk>
Date
Jan 13, 2010, 20:40 UTC
Message-ID
<1263415222-5911-5-git-send-email-mark@pogo.org.uk>
In-Reply-To
<1263415222-5911-4-git-send-email-mark@pogo.org.uk>

Instead of setting the font for specific widgets, set the font for the widget type. If themed widgets are not available, this is via the X resources. If themed widgets are available, the theme font is used.

The exception is the SHA1 ID which is forced to use the fixed-width font, even where themed widgets are used.
