On my Windows machine, I would do it like this:
myButton = Widget_Button(myBase, value='Test', font='times*24')
On my Linux machine, I would do it like this:
myButton = Widget_Button(myBase, value='Test', font='-adobe-times-
medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-p-124-iso8859-1')

I've no idea. Font "sizes" are normally expressed as "point sizes".
But as far as I know, these have "meaning" only when you are printing
something with a printing press. I don't think they really have
meaning when you are talking about something on a display. :-)
Cheers,
David
