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. v/r, neal
