tkdiff Error in startup script: expected integer but got "bold"

[liontooth@…]

Built tkdiff on PPC under 10.4.11. Starts fine; I successfully use it to browse and find two files. When I click "OK", the program aborts with this error:

$ tkdiff   
Error in startup script: expected integer but got "bold"
    (processing "-font" option)
    invoked from within
".client.left.text tag configure inlinetag -background DodgerBlue -font {TkFixedFont bold}"
    ("eval" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"eval "$widget tag configure $tag $opts($tag)""
    (procedure "build-client" line 106)

there is a fix there, for now (I checked it works).
​http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=473050
look for message#40:

It seems that the problem come when there is 'bold' or anything else after the font without the font size. Here is a patch which corrects this:

Seems to be fixed by r45816.
