Virtual TrueType Font ???

[Mariano Di Felice]

Hi!!
For drawing text into images, I use the aggdraw module, with python 2.3 
and wxPython2.6.
If we consider, for example, the Garamond TTF file on windows, we could 
find 3 files: normal, italic and general.
And if I open wx.FontDialog from python shell, I can write text also in 
Garamond Bold Italic style.

Now, the aggdraw module take the TrueType Font file path for load TTF 
Font file, and if this file doesn't exists, I have an IOException.
How can wxFontDialog ( or Microsoft Word, or Adobe Photoshop, etc ) 
write text in a style which doesn't exists on system??

Moreover, I do this test: from c:\windows\fonts I've  uninstalled all 
Garamond TTF files, but Italic.
If I open Microsoft Word, I will see that I can choose Garamond font, 
but it writes italic on default!!!

Can someone help me?? please???

Thank's!!!
