Here again, we have one of the "classic Python blunders". :wink:

you mean a blunder of Python :wink:
Thanks Tim,

From jonhattan jonhattan@faita.net I received on December 23, 2007 the following answer to the same question:

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)

And jonhattan code works.
