TkLua_04 - Display of installed Fonts
"TkLua_04" provides an overview of all fonts installed on the actual system
(as accessible by Tk).
Each font will be shown with a fixed size (12pt) using type faces
normal, bold, italic and bold italic.
Because of the (usually) large number of fonts the display had to be placed
into a separate frame widget with an associated scrollbar
widget to reposition the visible list area within that frame .
"TkLua_04" should be invoked without any command line arguments
lua TkLua_04.lua
and presents itself on the screen as follows:
