Thank you for making me look at this - it's even worse: ttk.Label uses
TkDefaultFont, ttk.Entry uses TkTextFont. So that's definitely not the
right way.

That's exactly the method I'd like to avoid: even a small to middling
application will use more than two different widget classes, and every
single one of them would need a separate call to style.configure. Every
change of the chosen font would have to be repeated for every widget class.

I had hoped that a style defined for the base class would be inherited
by subclasses, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Will try next with setting a font for the Tk() instance.
