 What is p2rowThree, i.e. what kind of sizer is it? If it's a box sizer,
you need to use a non-zero proportion to allow the text to expand at all.

 In any case, setting the font doesn't result in a re-layout, so you have
to call Layout() on some parent window containing this text control for the
text size to change.
