They've done it with Windows look'n'feel patches I've submitted
in the past as well. (Although they where kind enough to put the
patch on there web site.)

Maybe this will be easier the next time.  When I was
researching the problem I came across a page on:

 "Improvements to Windows Font Handling" w.r.t. Tk8.4.
 http://tcl.activestate.com/cgi-bin/tct/tip/64.html

Things kind of look promising for the future, but I
feel they have not paid much attention to Windows look'n'feel
since MS-Window 3.1.
