The tab is not redrawn if the font used in the tab label changes.

Example

<verbatim>
font create TitleFont -size 20
pack [NoteBook .n -font TitleFont] -fill both -expand true
.n insert 0 p1 -text ABC
update
font configure TitleFont -size 40
</verbatim>

This issue may be solved using the <<TkWorldChanged>> event in Tk ticket
[https://core.tcl-lang.org/tk/info/1e04d669539944b0].

The required patch in notebook.tcl is:

<verbatim>
bind NoteBook <<TkWorldChanged>> [list NoteBook::_worldchanged  %W %d]
proc NoteBook::_worldchanged { path type} {
    if {$type == "FontChanged"} {
        _compute_height $path
        _compute_width $path
        _redraw $path
    }
}
</verbatim>

MainFrame now fixed with commit [6b1f3c9f9b].

Closing bug.
Thanks to Brian for implementing TkWorldChange in Tk.

This works from Tk 8.6.12 and later.

Mainframe issue also solved by checkin [6b1f3c9f9b].

Closing bug. As a side note, this works starting with Tk 8.6.12 or Tk 8.7a6.

Thanks specially to Brian for implementing TkWorldChange in Tk.
