That's a real pity, because it is very powerful.

Try removing ~/.gitk, or look into it and try changing the font. Here is mine, for reference:

set mainfont {Helvetica 11} set textfont {Courier 11} set uifont {Helvetica 9 bold} set tabstop 8 set findmergefiles 0 set maxgraphpct 50 set maxwidth 16 set cmitmode patch set wrapcomment none set showneartags 1 set showlocalchanges 1 set bgcolor white set fgcolor black set colors {green red blue magenta darkgrey brown orange} set diffcolors {red "#00a000" blue} set selectbgcolor gray85 set geometry(main) 1005x850+1417+41 set geometry(topwidth) 1001 set geometry(topheight) 458 set geometry(pwsash0) "684 2" set geometry(pwsash1) "878 2" set geometry(botwidth) 725 set geometry(botheight) 372 set permviews {}
