FWIW, my theory is that is has something to do with your fonts. Just a simple end user observation. I'm not a gitk programmer.

Maybe you don't have your fonts set for what-you-want in gitk. Maybe you don't have the fonts installed/setup on your ubuntu box for what-you-want in gitk.

I assume gitk uses the fonts that you tell it to, or that are available.
Hope this helps.
