How do you change the font of wx.MenuBar?

I am on Linux and tried this:

mb = wx.MenuBar(wx.ID_ANY)

if wx.Platform == "__WXGTK__":

            fnt = mb.GetFont()

            fnt.SetPointSize(fnt.GetPointSize()-2)

            mb.SetFont(fnt)

            mb.Refresh()

and

mb.SetWindowVariant(wx.WINDOW_VARIANT_SMALL)

but it doesn't work.

wx.Menu doesn't have member function <SetFont>

wx.MenuItem is giving error when trying to set font as above:

(python:3015): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_font_description_set_size:
assertion `size >= 0' failed

Hi,

How do you change the font of wx.MenuBar?

I am on Linux and tried this:

mb = wx.MenuBar(wx.ID_ANY)

if wx.Platform == "__WXGTK__":

       fnt = mb\.GetFont\(\)

       fnt\.SetPointSize\(fnt\.GetPointSize\(\)\-2\)

       mb\.SetFont\(fnt\)

       mb\.Refresh\(\)

and

mb.SetWindowVariant(wx.WINDOW_VARIANT_SMALL)

but it doesn't work.

wx.Menu doesn't have member function <SetFont>

wx.MenuItem is giving error when trying to set font as above:

(python:3015): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_font_description_set_size:

I don't think you can do it using the standard wx.MenuBar. But you
might be able to tweak FlatMenu in wx.lib.agw to get the behaviour you
want.
