== Using Fonts ==
Simple program that writes text to a panel.

== Code Sample ==
{{{
#!python
import wx

class DrawPanel(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_PAINT, self.OnPaint)

    def OnPaint(self, event=None):
        dc = wx.PaintDC(self)
        dc.Clear()
        dc.SetFont(wx.Font(12, wx.MODERN, wx.NORMAL, wx.NORMAL))
        dc.DrawText("Modern font Family", 50, 50)

app = wx.App(0)
frame = wx.Frame(None, title="Font Family")
DrawPanel(frame)
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
}}}
=== Comments ===
You can use operating system fonts, if you are not concerned about platform independence or you can also access the system fonts by using '''wxfontDialog'''.

=== Custom Fonts on Windows ===
To load custom fonts on Windows use the following recipe:

{{{
#!python
from ctypes import *
import os
import os.path
gdi32= WinDLL("gdi32.dll")
fonts = [font for font in os.listdir("fonts") if font.endswith("otf") or font.endswith("ttf")]
for font in fonts:
    gdi32.AddFontResourceA(os.path.join("fonts",font))

}}}
This will load all .otf and .ttf fonts in the "fonts" subdirectory of your project.
