… named font (pythonGH-153267) (pythonGH-153323) tkinter.font.Font now copies the options of a named font (via "font configure") instead of the options resolved by "font actual", which would resolve a size specified in pixels (a negative size) to points. A font description is still resolved, as it cannot be parsed otherwise. Font.copy(), which has always been equivalent to constructing a Font from the original font, is updated to match and now preserves the size too. (cherry picked from commit 45010f4) (cherry picked from commit a9d4473232f86d6dfc234756f633b8dc5836ad32) Co-authored-by: Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

configure") instead of the options resolved by "font actual", which
would resolve a size specified in pixels (a negative size) to points.
A font description is still resolved, as it cannot be parsed otherwise.
Font.copy(), which has always been equivalent to constructing a Font
from the original font, is updated to match and now preserves the size
too.
