Comment(by cmbarton):

 The main question is how close does this need to be for text placement.
 Also, we don't want the module to raise an error when it's only trying to
 figure out the size of a layout box.

 The way I've got it set up now is that it will try to use typefaces with
 names Times, Helvetica, or Courier, depending on which one of these ps.map
 fonts is picked. If it can't find one, it will revert to the "default"
 font family for the system. This can be fine tuned.

 Perhaps it would be better just to pick the corresponding font family from
 wxPython (e.g., wx.FONTFAMILY_SWISS for Helvetica) and not worry about
 finding a particular typeface.
