Bug#: 90 Product: .wxWindows Version: 2.2.0 Platform: wxGTK OS/Version: Solaris Status: NEW
Resolution: Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wxGTK AssignedTo: ???
ReportedBy: wxwin@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ Cc: wxwin@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Summary: GTK port: cannot set font for empty text field

wxTextCtrl won't install a new font (with SetFont) unless it has non-empty contents. That is, if wxTextCtrl is empty, then SetFont has no effect. To workaround, I had to put a dummy text like "text" to the control, change font with SetFont, and then call Clear to erase the dummy text.
