You must still be using tk4.2 on Linux since it's been gone in tk8.0
and beyond! If you use tcl/tk, then you *must* read the changes file to 
see what has changed since the last release, especially the ones marked 
"POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY".

These have been replaced by much more usable and portable Tk_GetFont,
Tk_NameOfFont and Tk_FreeFont. See the manual pages for tcl/tk8.0+ for
fore more info.

This particular case obviously has nothing to do with Win32-programming,
but rather the Tk interface.
