Question

How do I set the font on a wxPython StaticText widget?

Answer 1

use object.SetFont. For example (from wxpython in Action):

text = wx.StaticText(panel, -1, 'my text', (20, 100))
font = wx.Font(18, wx.DECORATIVE, wx.ITALIC, wx.NORMAL)
text.SetFont(font)

wx.Font has the following signature:

wx.Font(pointSize, family, style, weight, underline=False, faceName="", encoding=wx.FONTENCODING_DEFAULT)

family can be:

wx.DECORATIVE, wx.DEFAULT,wx.MODERN,
wx.ROMAN, wx.SCRIPT or wx.SWISS.

style can be:

wx.NORMAL, wx.SLANT or wx.ITALIC.

weight can be:

wx.NORMAL, wx.LIGHT, or wx.BOLD
