monospaced font in wxTextCtrl GTK

[aa...@meet-the-newmans.org]

wxTextCtrl under windows comes up with a monospaced font.  Using GTK2 and wx 2.6 under Linux Red Hat it is always a variable spaced font.  As my application contains a text editor this is somewhat less than useful.

 

Is there a magic spell?  Here is my code for initializing the window:

 

    my_control = new wx_text_control(&the_parent,-1, &the_frame,"",
                         wxPoint(-1,-1), wxSize(-1,-1),
                         wxTE_MULTILINE | wxHSCROLL | wxTE_RICH2);
    my_control->SetEditable(true);
    wxFont* tmpFont = new wxFont(11,wxMODERN,wxNORMAL,wxNORMAL);
    my_control->SetFont(*tmpFont);

wxMODERN doesn't necessarily select monospaced font, wxTELETYPE does.

Tried that too. Not in wxGTK :(

I will change my app to let the user choose.

Thanks,

wxTELETYPE doesn't select monospaced fonts under wxWidgets 2.6/GTK2
while wxWidgets 2.4.x/GTK1 does.
