Running gitk on Wayland (which runs under XWayland), I now only see a single font, "fixed".
That font's Bold variant renders identically in gitk to its non-bold variant, so bold isn't displayed as bold.
I would guess this is an issue that affects all tcl/tk apps under Wayland, but I can't seem to find a workaround / resolution for it online.
How can I make fonts work in gitk under Wayland? Or any clues what *should* be going on -- I'm not sure what font systems / config / etc. are relevant here?

No idea what gitk is, but I'd speculate on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fonts# … plications

Just now I discovered that it's not Wayland after all, but some recent update (not sure what yet -- I switched to Wayland to try and work around recent GNOME instability with NVIDIA, from the same update). But now I see the same gitk behaviour under X.org
gitk is the GUI distributed with the git version control system (https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/gitk-git/gitk).
Re your wiki reference: thanks, will take a look soon when I've extricated myself from other small disasters ;-/

git has a GUI???
It's really just a tcl/tk script and tk uses fontconfig
