Issues with 2.8.0.1 on OS-X

[Christopher Barker]

Hi all,

Sorry I didn't test this a couple weeks ago, when I should have, but I"m 
finally doing it now.

I'm testing on OS-X 10.4.8, Python2.5 (framework build from pythonmac), 
wxPython 2.8.0.1 unicode build from wxpython.org

1) The stdout/stderr Frame is doing something weird -- the text box is 
very small, much smaller than the Frame, and not really readable:

 >>> import wx
 >>> wx.App(1)

Shows the problem.

2) When I try to create a font that doesn't exist, I get an exception -- 
it used to create whatever it could that was "close" -- at least I think 
it did. In any case, it didn't raise and exception. I'm pretty sure this 
doesn't raise an exception on Windows either. Not sure about Linux, 
these fonts exist there. See the floatcanvas Demo, text test to see the 
error. Or just run this:

 >>> Font = wx.Font(12, wx.DEFAULT, wx.ITALIC, wx.NORMAL, False, "bookman")
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File 
"//Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-mac-unicode/wx/_gdi.py", 
line 1917, in __init__
     _gdi_.Font_swiginit(self,_gdi_.new_Font(*args, **kwargs))
wx._core.PyAssertionError: C++ assertion "status == noErr" failed at 
/BUILD/wxPython-src-2.8.0.1/src/mac/carbon/font.cpp(366) in 
MacFindFont(): couldn't modify ATSU style


3) I can't find the src.rpm on sourceforge -- is it there?

-Chris
