in reply to TK entry widget

"Stream of Conciousness" :-) You can use rambling English here, if you show some code demonstrating your problem. I think what you want to do is specify a font size. Check out Tk::FontDialog.
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Tk; my $mw = new MainWindow; $mw->fontCreate('big', -family=>'courier', -weight=>'bold', -size=>int(-18*18/14)); $mw->fontCreate('medium', -family=>'courier', -weight=>'bold', -size=>int(-14*14/10)); my $entry = $mw->Entry(-font =>'big', -text=>'Big')->pack(); my $entry1 = $mw->Entry(-font medium', -text=>'Big')->pack(); MainLoop;
