[Wxsqueak] Changing Default Fonts

[Rob Gayvert]

Most of the dev tools use WxPluggableTextWidget, which is a subclass of 
WxStyledTextCtrl, which in turn is a wrapper around the Scintilla 
editor. This gives it a lot of capabilities, but at the expense of 
making some simple things non-obvious. In this case, #setFont: doesn't 
do anything; instead, you need to change the "default style". Try 
something like
     textPane styleSetFont: wxStcStyleDefault font: (WxFont pointSize: 
... etc ...)
