[issue12979] tkinter.font.Font object not usable as font option

[ilikepython]

New submission from ilikepython <patrick70 at gmx.de>:

If a Font object is passed as a font option to a Tk widget e. g.:

import tkinter
import tkinter.font

f = tkinter.font.Font(family='Arial', size=30)
root = Tk()
label = tkinter.Label(root, text="Hello", font=f)
label.pack()

the font does not get respected at runtime.
