+      Returns the actual value for attributes when the given font is used on
+      the widget given by *displayof*. *displayof* accepts any tkinter widget
+      and, if omitted, will default to the main window (in most circumstances,

+      If *option* is specified, the value of just that attribute is returned.
+      If it is omitted or ``None``, the returned value is a dictionary of all
+      the attributes and their values. See above for a list of acceptable
+      attributes.
