There are, from TK 8.5 onwards.
For some weird reason, Ubuntu 10.04 insists on using Tcl/Tk 8.4, even if 8.5 is installed from the repositories (and insists on removing gitk and git-gui if Tk 8.4 is removed!).

Default tk version on Debian-based systems

Try "update-alternatives --config wish" (or writing a symlink /usr/bin/wish8.5 -> wish on your $PATH if you lack privileges).

dgm & jrn: I just created an LWN.net account so I could thank you both! git-gui looks a lot better using my favorite anti-aliased TTF fonts :-)

For anyone else who's interested, executing "sudo apt-get install tk8.5 && sudo update-alternatives --config wish" does the trick on Ubuntu 9.10.
