Could you tell me your environment ( Ruby version, Tcl/Tk version, OS, 
and so on ) and send me your script? 

Maybe the problem depends on auto-creation of font objects. 
If you use the same font for many widgets, please create a TkFont
object for the font and try to give the font object to the font option
of each widgets.
