You are telling the panel to redo it's layout, but it is still
constrained to the size of the frame.  If you want the frame to resize
to meet the new layout needs of the panel, you need to do it yourself.


     def onFontChange(self, event):
         font = wx.Font(12, wx.SWISS, wx.NORMAL, wx.BOLD)
         self.sheet.SetCellFont(0,0,font)
         self.sheet.AutoSize()
         #self.panel.Layout()
         self.SetClientSize(self.panel.GetBestSize())

Notice that the Layout() is not needed anymore because it will happen 
automatically when the resize happens.
