How can i configure font size in gitk?

Question

Using Linux, how can i configure font and font size in gitk?

Looking through the menus can be quite frustrating as they offer very little configuration possibilities.

You can configure the font and font size in either:

Example:

set mainfont {Monaco 10}
set textfont {Monaco 10}
set uifont {Monaco 10}

You can also do it through the tool itself:

The file `~/.gitk` is one of three possible locations of the config file. Mine is in `~/.config/git/gitk`. For other locations see https://git-scm.com/docs/gitk#_files – Marc P. Apr 25 '18 at 10:19
Yes, thie `~/.gitk` is further down the list, so check if `~/.config/git/gitk` exists first. You can see what it opens by running `strace gitk`. – Tomasz Gandor Oct 30 '20 at 23:16
