"""
=================================================================
Test font support (and lack thereof) in Pydroid 3's tkinter.
Families courier, helvetica, and times (and their synonyms)
work, others trigger a hard/silent crash, and italic and bold
styles are ignored for courier in both tuples and strings.
Change settings below and run in the Pydroid 3 app to test.

Update: Pydroid 3's 30 release fixed the font crash by simply
forcing any unknown font family to be helvetica.  All other 
limitations of its font support remain as described above.
