The default implementations of all functions will ask the user if they are not capable of finding the answer themselves and store the answer in a config file (configurable via SetConfigXXX functions). This behaviour may be disabled by giving the value of @false to "interactive" parameter. However, the functions will always consult the config file to allow the user-defined values override the default logic and there is no way to disable this - which shouldn't be ever needed because if "interactive" was never @true, the config file is never created anyhow. In case everything else fails (i.e. there is no record in config file and "interactive" is @false or user denied to choose any replacement), the class queries wxEncodingConverter for "equivalent" encodings (e.g. iso8859-2 and cp1250) and tries them. @section fontmapper_mbconv Using wxFontMapper in conjunction with wxMBConv classes If you need to display text in encoding which is not available at host system (see wxFontMapper::IsEncodingAvailable), you may use these two classes to find font in some similar encoding (see wxFontMapper::GetAltForEncoding) and convert the text to this encoding (wxMBConv classes). Following code snippet demonstrates it: @code if (!wxFontMapper::Get()->IsEncodingAvailable(enc, facename)) { wxFontEncoding alternative; if (wxFontMapper::Get()->GetAltForEncoding(enc, &alternative, facename, false)) { wxCSConv convFrom(wxFontMapper::Get()->GetEncodingName(enc)); wxCSConv convTo(wxFontMapper::Get()->GetEncodingName(alternative)); text = wxString(text.mb_str(convFrom), convTo); } else ...failure (or we may try iso8859-1/7bit ASCII)... } ...display text... @endcode @library{wxcore} @category{misc} @see wxEncodingConverter, @ref overview_nonenglish "Writing non-English applications" */ class wxFontMapper { public: /** Default ctor. @note The preferred way of creating a wxFontMapper instance is to call wxFontMapper::Get(). */ wxFontMapper(); /** Virtual dtor. */ virtual ~wxFontMapper(); /** Returns the encoding for the given charset (in the form of RFC 2046) or @c wxFONTENCODING_SYSTEM if couldn't decode it.
