tkinter: option_add() problem

[Bob van der Poel]

Using tkinter to modify the option database I CAN do things like:

	root.option_add( '*activeBackground', 'white')

However,

	root.option_add( '*Font', "family times -weight bold  -size 14" )

gives me the error message:

	TclError: expected integer but got "times"

the equivalent??? tcl:

	option add *Font {-family times -weight bold  -size 14}

works fine.

Help!
