Joe English tells us, "If you want the system native text font (which is what the entry, listbox, and a handful of others use) by default, then: 
    [text .t -font TkTextFont].        
If you want the system-native "UI" font (used by buttons, menus, checkboxes, and most other UI elements): '''TkDefaultFont'''."
