Running on Linux (Mint 20.3) I've just upgraded my Tcl installation from
an ActiveTcl 8.6.9 to Tcl 8.6.12. I came across one possible problem and
have a configuration issue.

o I downloaded tcltls, and built it. Although the instructions
didn't mention it, I tried

make test

and there were a worrying number of errors (Passed: 27, Skipped 17,
Failed: 25). A quick check that I can read one web page via

% http::register https 443 {tls::socket \
-autoservername 1}
% set tok [https://www.google.com]

seems to work ok, but I fear the worst.

o I'm getting a different font for the Tk menus than before. The
old font is still there - it is used if I run the default (8.6.10)
version that comes with Linux.

Any help on either of these would be much appreciated.

Alan

I've had a look at the fonts, and I see that the root of the problem is
the definition of TkMenuFont (and also TkFixedFont). Is there a golbal
database I can use to specify these rather than modify the myriad
appications I;ve developed over the years?

Also, a third issue:

o I use tkcon extensively, and see that the "old" version from
ActiveTcl was 2.7, but the most recent I can find (at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tkcon/files/latest/download) is 2.5.
Where can I download the latest version?

OpenSuse 15.3, which I am running here, has tcl 8.6.12 and tkcon 2.7, so
I suppose you can find the source in their repositories, if you need
it.
