'''font actual''' ''font ?-'''''displayof''''' window? ?option?''

Returns information about the the actual attributes that are obtained when ''font'' is used on ''window'' 's display; the actual attributes obtained may differ from the attributes requested due to platform-dependant limitations, such as the availability of font families and pointsizes. ''font'' is a font description; see FONT DESCRIPTIONS below. If the ''window'' argument is omitted, it defaults to the main window. If ''option'' is specified, returns the value of that attribute; if it is omitted, the return value is a list of all the attributes and their values. See FONT OPTIONS below for a list of the possible attributes.

Question: what kind of paramater is given to the -displayof argument? A Tk
window name ?

For instance, if I say:

 button .b -font fixed
 font actual -dislayof .b

I see an error.  However, I '''seem''' to get somem sort of answer when I
say:

 font actual .b

Is the results the real information, or the info that Tk uses, then deviates
from until it finds a ''best match''?
