Numpy tabular editor demo has font issue

[cfarrow]

When running the demo at examples/demo/Advanced/NumPy_array_tabular_editor_demo.py I get the following exception when hovering over the table.

OnGetItemAttr
attr.SetFont( font )
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx/_controls.py", line 4163, in SetFont
return controls.ListItemAttr_SetFont(_args, *_kwargs)
TypeError: in method 'ListItemAttr_SetFont', expected argument 2 of type 'wxFont const &'

Running from master on OSX 10.6.

Get the same exception from examples/demo/Application/Python_source_browser.py

In this snippet from traitsui/wx/tabular_editor.py (lines 134-136),

    font = editor.adapter.get_font( object, name, row )
    if font is not None:
        attr.SetFont( font )

the adaper's get_font() method is returning the string "Courier 10", but the method attr.SetFont() expects a wx Font object. The example works if the line

font        = 'Courier 10'

is changed to

font        = Font('Courier 10')

I just pushed this change, and a similar change for Python_source_browser.py, so these examples should now work.

However, I think the TabularAdapter and/or backend-dependent editor should handle a string, since a Font trait is supposed to be able to handle being assigned a value such as "Courier 10", and the TabularAdapter knows that the special attribute called 'font' should be a Font trait.

closing as I can't reproduce this at the moment.
