do you use Canvas.postscript() to export the canvas contents to an image?
If yes, the problem is probably that Tk and postscript disagree about the
exact spelling of the font name and so postscript falls back to some
default font.

(As a side note:

PROGPropFont = Font(font = Entry()["font"])

seems a bit over-complicated to me, simply doing

PROGPropFont = Font(name = "TkDefaultFont", exists = True)

should give you the same result. scnr :) )

Have a nice day,
