Hi!

I can configure git gui's fonts through its preferences, but gitk does
not have font settings. And I can't find any documentation on how to
change the fonts either in the gitk or git-config manual pages. Is
there any way to change them? I'd really love getting rid of Courier...

gitk creates a .gitk file in your home directory.  If you point your
editor at that file it should be fairly obvious how to change the
fonts.

It does, now, in the preferences window (do Edit->Preferences).

Paul.
