but strangely does not work for my text file which looks like this, if the display is set to an english font: 
y.txt

 Hmmm. Characters like these can cause unforseen behavior, because it's not ever clear whether they are taken as ESC-sequences or meta-characters.

I googled a little with your as-ttdurga-font and saw that this is a kind of indic(assamese)-script-font. I like it's pretty appearance, but i wonder whether it can be fully represented by 8-Bit-ASCII-Code.

In your code the font-declaration seems to be insignificant. This was my impression when i tested it.

Do you actual see the desired font in your Tk-script ?

I could imagine that you have to turn your line of thought in direction unicode. Therefore it's a good idea to use at least a perl-version >=5.6.1, i think.
