StyledTextControl default styles

Does the STC define default fonts/colours etc for the
builtin lexers? From my code below, I just get a window
that has no bold, no different fonts, or colours. I had
assumed it would define default ones that looked somewhat
pretty.

class ViewSourceFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, text, id=-1):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, "HTML Source")
        stc=wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl(self, -1)
        stc.SetLexer(wx.stc.STC_LEX_HTML)
        stc.SetText(text)
        stc.Colourise(0,-1)

Nope. The lexers define the style numbers they use for the various lexical states, but the styles themselves are up to the applicaiton.
