font.IsFixedWidth failure?

Thanks, Raffaello (and Jonathan), that works for me as well.

But back to font.IsFixedWidth() : It doesn’t behave as documented,
at least not on Windows XP here.

Robin?

Merry Xmas to everybody
I’m trying to build an application to sort out the
existing fonts
according to their properties .
Working in Windows XP Home, I tried with the following code:

    e =

wx.FontEnumerator ()

e.EnumerateFacenames ()

    listA =

e.GetFacenames()

e.EnumerateFacenames(wx.FONTENCODING_SYSTEM, fixedWidthOnly =

True)
listF =
e.GetFacenames()

but unfortunately all I get is listA == listF, i.e.
all the existing
fonts, no sorting.
Where is my mistake?

You have to subclass wx.FontEnumerator and override
OnFacename:

class FE(wx.FontEnumerator):
def OnFacename(self, fontname):
print fontname

fe = FE()
fe.EnumerateFacenames(wx.FONTENCODING_SYSTEM , fixedWidthOnly =
True)

:
This code, on my Windows XP system, with wxPython
2.8.4.0, fails to identify fixed-width
fonts:

` import wx

app =
wx.PySimpleApp()

face_names =
wx.FontEnumerator_GetFacenames()

for face_name in
face_names:
font = wx.Font(10, wx.MODERN, wx.NORMAL, wx.BOLD, underline=False,
face=face_name)
print face_name.ljust(32), font.IsFixedWidth()

`
I.e., font.IsFixedWidth() always returns False. But faces
such as ‘r_ansi’ are indeed fixed-width.

Is this a wxPython bug, or am I missing something basic
here?

Done. Tracker # 1913205.
