Try testing with some of the supported encodings like:

print f.font.family.decode('utf-8')

try some of these encodings: 
http://docs.python.org/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings

The brute force should work if the font's name is encoded in one of the 
supported codecs; and if wx does not do something like 
f.[en|de]code(errors='replace').
