If all you need is a list of fonts available on your system, the font families command will give that to you.

But for presenting a full, font selection dialog, the Tcl'ers Wiki (

http://wiki.tcl.tk)

does present a few options:
[ul][li]"A little font chooser,"

http://wiki.tcl.tk/3896,

implements a nice dialog for selecting a font. Note that it works by creating a named font (using the font create command) based on the user selections, and then returning that named font.[/li]

[li]"A small font chooser,"

http://wiki.tcl.tk/9173,

also illustrates the concepts in allowing the user to select a font, although I don't like that interface as well.[/li]

[li]The BWidget extension includes a SelectFont command, for implementing a font selector as either a dialog or BWidget toolbar. See "BWidget,"

http://wiki.tcl.tk/2251.

This might be an especially good choice if you're already using the BWidget extension.[/li][/ul]
