It always returns False. Apparently this function has been changed to
GetFontMetrics in wxWidgets to address the bug w/ IsFixedWidth

Platform and version?

This is the original ticket:
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/4714

(In [64446]) Fix wxFont::IsFixedWidth() under MSW to always return
correct result.

This function worked erratically, returning the correct result or not
depending on the way it was created. Reimplement it using
GetTextMetrics() to
get the correct result in any case.

If you are referring to my platform/version -> windows 7 ultimate 64
bit w/ a copy of 2.8.11.0 unicode and also have a copy of 2.9.1.1. I
use python 2.6.

That change was made in trunk, so it should be in 2.9.1.1, do you still see the problem there?

No, sorry for the False alarm. It doesn't happen in 2.9.1.1 (it does
in 2.8.11.0).
