I'm sure I used to know the answer to this question, but can't remember, and haven't found it by searching. How do I tell TK where to look for fonts? I have installed Tcl on a new Linux machine, on which I have installed a number of fonts, which are available to, e.g. LibreOffice, but not in TK.

Have you compiled Tk on your own? Because, there is a compile-time
option "--enable-xft", which is the standard library now for finding
fonts the same way as LibreOffice does it. If it is disabled or if the
headers for xft are not available, then Tk will use an older method to
render fonts.

Interesting. No, I installed from ActiveState.

With the "extrafont" package you can use on-fly any font you like.
See https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/extrafont

Example:
set fontfamilies [extrafont::load "c:/tmp/Monoton-regular.ttf"]
# just get the 1st font-familiy
set myNewFontFamily [lindex $fontfamilies 0] ;# --> "Monoton"
set myfontname [font create -family $myNewFontFamily -size 20]

# then use $myfontname for a new widget ...
label .mylabel -font $myfontname -text "Hello World"
