…ts=0 On macOS the native dialog stores the -font option as a resolved font description rather than the font name, and with wantobjects=0 Tcl returns strings instead of integers. Compare the actual font attributes and coerce the size to an integer. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Take the configuration options via **options and forward them to configure(), like SysTrayIcon, instead of enumerating each option in the constructor signature. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add the
tkinter.fontchoosermodule, providing theFontChooserclass as an interface to the native font selection dialog (thetk fontchoosercommand, available since Tk 8.6).The dialog is modal on Windows but modeless on X11 and macOS, so
FontChoosermirrors the underlying API instead of forcing a uniform modal behavior:show()may return immediately, and the selected font is delivered to the command callback (as atkinter.font.Fontobject) together with the<<TkFontchooserVisibility>>and<<TkFontchooserFontChanged>>virtual events, rather than being returned.FontChooser(master=None, *, parent=None, title=None, font=None, command=None)supportsconfigure()/config(),cget(),show()andhide(). The options are parent, title, font, command and the read-only visible.The tests require a GUI; the interactive
show()/hide()part runs only on X11.
