the text widget has it's background set to white, but does not set the
foreground color. So it is possible to get white on white or other bad
color combinations depending on the user's default foreground color.
A quick "-fg black" is all that is needed in wikit/gui.tcl and I have
included a patch below. This problem was found in the available
downloaded version on 2003 Feb 19. Sorry I do not know how to determine
the actual version number of wikit. "wikit -help" produces a very nasty
looking error which would better be described in another bug report.

Thanks, I've made the changes - but your code does not seem to match
the latest wikit.kit - to update your copy, get a very recent sdx and do:
sdx update wikit.kit
