Yes, it seems that wxWindow::SetFont() doesn¹t work on wxMac. I¹ll
investigate further tomorrow and log a bug with them.

How would you normally select this? WxWidgets seems to have an anti alias
attribute for a wxFont, but the closest option I can see on the font

That¹ll have to wait for 1.8 I¹m afraid. I¹ll be polling the lists to build
a roadmap sometime after release ­ please make sure I remember to add it.

Unfortunately we¹re at the mercy of wxWidgets somewhat ­ wxMac has come on
in leaps and bounds in recent versions, but it¹s still not as mature as
wxMSW or wxGTK.

Thanks for the feedback.
