    @class wxFont

    A font is an object which determines the appearance of text. Fonts are
    used for drawing text to a device context, and setting the appearance of
    a window's text.

    This class uses @ref overview_trefcount "reference counting and copy-on-write"
    internally so that assignments between two instances of this class are very
    cheap. You can therefore use actual objects instead of pointers without
    efficiency problems. If an instance of this class is changed it will create
    its own data internally so that other instances, which previously shared the
    data using the reference counting, are not affected.

    You can retrieve the current system font settings with wxSystemSettings.

        Creates a font object with the specified attributes.

        @param pointSize
            Size in points.
        @param pixelSize
            Size in pixels: this is directly supported only under MSW
            currently where this constructor can be used directly, under other
        platforms a
            font with the closest size to the given one is found using binary search and
            the static New method must be used.
        @param family
            Font family, a generic way of referring to fonts without specifying actual
        facename. One of:







            wxFONTFAMILY_DEFAULT




            Chooses a default font.





            wxFONTFAMILY_DECORATIVE




            A decorative font.





            wxFONTFAMILY_ROMAN




            A formal, serif font.





            wxFONTFAMILY_SCRIPT




            A handwriting font.





            wxFONTFAMILY_SWISS




            A sans-serif font.





            wxFONTFAMILY_MODERN




            A fixed pitch font.





            wxFONTFAMILY_TELETYPE




            A teletype font.
        @param style
            One of wxFONTSTYLE_NORMAL, wxFONTSTYLE_SLANT and wxFONTSTYLE_ITALIC.
        @param weight
            Font weight, sometimes also referred to as font boldness. One of:







            wxFONTWEIGHT_NORMAL




            Normal font.





            wxFONTWEIGHT_LIGHT




            Light font.





            wxFONTWEIGHT_BOLD




            Bold font.
        @param underline
            The value can be @true or @false. At present this has an effect on Windows
        and Motif 2.x only.
        @param faceName
            An optional string specifying the actual typeface to be used. If it is an
        empty string,
            a default typeface will be chosen based on the family.
        @param encoding
            An encoding which may be one of







            wxFONTENCODING_SYSTEM




            Default system encoding.





            wxFONTENCODING_DEFAULT




            Default application encoding: this
            is the encoding set by calls to
            SetDefaultEncoding and which may be set to,
            say, KOI8 to create all fonts by default with KOI8 encoding. Initially, the
            default application encoding is the same as default system encoding.





            wxFONTENCODING_ISO8859_1...15




            ISO8859 encodings.





            wxFONTENCODING_KOI8




            The standard Russian encoding for Internet.





            wxFONTENCODING_CP1250...1252




            Windows encodings similar to ISO8859 (but not identical).





            If the specified encoding isn't available, no font is created
            (see also font encoding overview).

        @remarks If the desired font does not exist, the closest match will be
                 chosen. Under Windows, only scalable TrueType fonts are
                 used.
