masked numctrl diff between 2.8 and 2.9 BOLD FONT

in an older post in Sep Werner noted that the font in NumCtrl switching
from 2.8 to 2.9 seemed bold due to font style and size changes:

I now run into the same problems under XP which leaves me wondering if
the suggested patches have not made their way into the current 2.9.3.1
py2.7?

Hi Tobias,

in an older post in Sep Werner noted that the font in NumCtrl switching
from 2.8 to 2.9 seemed bold due to font style and size changes:

I now run into the same problems under XP which leaves me wondering if
the suggested patches have not made their way into the current 2.9.3.1
py2.7?

The patch which is applied to 2.9.3.1 had to do with alignment and sizing with numeric controls.

As I always use "self.numCtrl1.SetUseFixedWidthFont(False)" the patches fixed my issues.

The early change I had suggested with regards to the bold aspect is not applied.

The error you run into on XP seems to be an issue with the new default Font not being available, and looking at:

dlg.SetFont(wx.Font(8, wx.NORMAL, wx.NORMAL, wx.NORMAL, False))

Doesn't look right if I look at:

Shouldn't the first wx.NORMAL be wx.SWISS or .....?

Yes, that parameter should be the font family. Where did you see that code?

It was in the other thread from Tobias "Re: [wxPython-users] masked numctrl diff between 2.8 and 2.9!! followup "unknown WX font family"

And the exception shown in that thread does not point to masked, at least not from what I see, but it looks like it is in his code.
