fluxbox: default fonts for tcl/tk

Hallo,

I normally use fluxbox as wm, and need some tcl/tk apps, like Grass or within R. Now, the default tcl/tk font is very ugly, what makes unconfortable to work with these apps. The same in kde.
The problem is: if I run the same apps from gnome, tk magically uses the terminus font, for the greatest pleasure of my eyes.
How can I tell fluxbox (or directly the tcl/tk interpreter) to use terminus fonts as default? Why different behaviors for different wm/dm?
Thanks in advance,

domanov

And How can I install the terminus fonts?
It seems not in the official repository.

pacman -Ss terminus gives you the name of the package, then:
pacman -S terminus-fonts (or font)
