Control Font in tkMessageBox

Question

I would to like to control the font of the text on a tkMessageBox but I can\'t see any reference of such a stuff. Is it only implemented in Tkinter?

Thanks,

The following works here. You will need to change the second argument of option to the font type and font size you want.

 from Tkinter import *
 import tkMessageBox
 r = Tk()
 r.option_add('*font', 'Helvetica -12')
 tkMessageBox.showinfo(message='Hello')

You may have to call r.option_clear() to clear it afterwards.

See here for more information about setting the font of other Tkinter widgets.

This doesn't work with tkMessageBox because tkCommonDialog doesn't take the font option.
