Font selection

[Emil Saraga <esaraga robodoc com>]

Hello again everyone:

I'm having some trouble with changing the font on my top level window.  If I
understand correctly, widgets placed into a window will inherit the window's
style by default.  Under this assumption I changed the font of my top level
window expecting to see the font change globally.  Unfortunately I haven't
seen any font change at all.

Please look at this snippet of code and let me know if you see an error;
also let me know if my assumptions above are incorrect.

Thanks in advance!
