wxPerl: Font in Wx::TextCtrl

[busunsl]

Now that packing wxPerl applications with PAR finally works comes the next problem:

Wx::STC does not work any longer, the program just segfaults.
That is no major problem, as the perl syntax highlighting was not as good as I had hoped.

So I switched back to Wx::TextCtrl.

And now the question: How do I change the font of the widget?

SetFont does nothing.
SetDefaultStyle and SetStyle have no effects on text that is typed.
The documentation and the examples don't tell anything about setting the font :-(

When you recompiled widgets, did you recompile STC? Didn't think so.

*boggle* SetFont most certainly does something (it sets the font).

Yes, I did. In the beginning I wrote a shellscript to compile wxWidgets. It included STC and XRC.

Yes it should, but it didn't for me. Now I think it was due to using the predefined fonts like wxSWISS_FONT and such.

Using your way (SetFont(Wx::Font->new(...))) works just fine!

Many thanks again!
