wxWindow::SetFont() broken on wxMac

[pgsnake]

wxWindow::SetFont() has no effect on wxMac 2.6/2.7.
Works as expected (ie. changes the font of controls on
the window) on wxMSW and wxGTK.

which controls are you having this on - using which code ? there are some controls that cannot be set, but a few tests on the controls sample show that it still works for some

Best,

In pgAdmin we set the font on each wxWindow so that each control inherits the settings (yes, I know it's not very 'Mac', but we've had
a lot of people ask for it! It's mainly used with wxStaticText & wxTextCtrl, but also with wxTreeCtrl, wxListCtrl, wxComboBox and
others. The following patch to the controls sample makes no noticable difference to any of the controls on 2.7.0 (I haven't tested this
on Windows/GTK, but it's essentially the same as the way pgAdmin does it). I'll try to build 2.7.2 tomorrow and try that version.

// Give it an icon

Just tested on Mac with CVS-tip, and with the patch below I
still see no noticable difference to any controls.

With a modified version (a different font string is needed -
wxT("0;-19;0;0;0;400;255;0;0;0;3;2;1;18;Times New Roman") )
on wxMSW 2.7.2, the font for all controls changes as expected.

This still does not work.

Tested on 10.6 Cocoa build.

Some controls have their own font according to HIG, the best way to do some customization is to set the WindowVariant on the Frame before adding controls, that way more space is available without resulting in an ugly appearance, letting the OS decide which font is most appropriate.

Having said that, I'll try to add InheritAttributes and see whether this can be made to work at least...

(In [73047]) support for inheriting non-standard attributes (explicit fonts instead of window variants), fixes #3583
