Yes, it seems that wxWindow::SetFont() doesnıt work on wxMac. Iıll
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

Thatıll have to wait for 1.8 Iım afraid. Iıll be polling the lists to build
a roadmap sometime after release * please make sure I remember to add it.

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

Thanks for the feedback.
