Editra v0.5.51 on Snow Leopard 10.6 - Intel using Universal Binary - Preferences - Font Dialog issue

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the universal binary on Snow Leopard
2. wxpython version 
>>> wx.version()
'2.8.10.1 (mac-unicode)'
3. Go to Preferences, click on Font button to change the default Font parameters

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Font Dialog opens but immediately closes before I can move the mouse to it to 
configure it. 

Editra on POSIX/Linux systems uses the .Editra directory to store preferences?
I don't see this on the Mac version. Are the preferences for the Fonts stored 
in the Application 
packaged in an Info.plist? I was just going to edit the Font preferences by 
hand because the Mac 
has such a high resolution gorgeous screen the default 10point? fonts look so 
tiny and hard to 
read.

If there is supposed to be a .Editra directory in the users directory then 
maybe a permissions or 
file directory creation issue is causing the dialog to close immediately.

Cheers for the Mac version, its so nice looking compared to my Linux version! 
:-)

Been all through the .app hierarchy and learned some things, themes by style 
sheets etc. but no preference file.

I found org.editra.Editra.plist file inside the user's Library/Preferences 
folder.

Looks like this is it, unfortunately the XML preference file is not written in 
human readable text. its all just raw 
data across all the lines for configuration :-(

Hi,

This is a know issue on 10.6, it is a bug in wxWidgets. It will be fixed when
wxPython 2.8.11 is available.

As a workaround you can edit your style sheet to change the font / font size. 
See the
styles directory or Style Editor under the tools dialog and create a new style 
sheet
and change the size of the font in the default_style tag.

Closing this as a duplicate
