This class is capable of converting strings between two
8-bit encodings/charsets. It can also convert from/to Unicode (but only
if you compiled wxWidgets with wxUSE_WCHAR_T set to 1). Only a limited subset
of encodings is supported by wxEncodingConverter:
@c wxFONTENCODING_ISO8859_1..15, @c wxFONTENCODING_CP1250..1257 and
@c wxFONTENCODING_KOI8.

Return equivalents for given font that are used

wxPLATFORM_CURRENT means the platform this binary was compiled for.
Examples:
Equivalence is defined in terms of convertibility:
two encodings are equivalent if you can convert text between
then without losing information (it may - and will - happen
that you lose special chars like quotation marks or em-dashes
but you shouldn't lose any diacritics and language-specific
characters when converting between equivalent encodings).
Remember that this function does @b NOT check for presence of
fonts in system. It only tells you what are most suitable
encodings. (It usually returns only one encoding.)

Initialize conversion. Both output or input encoding may
be wxFONTENCODING_UNICODE, but only if wxUSE_ENCODING is set to 1.
All subsequent calls to Convert()
will interpret its argument
as a string in @a input_enc encoding and will output string in
@a output_enc encoding.
You must call this method before calling Convert. You may call
it more than once in order to switch to another conversion.
@e Method affects behaviour of Convert() in case input character
cannot be converted because it does not exist in output encoding:
@b wxCONVERT_STRICT
follow behaviour of GNU Recode -
just copy unconvertible characters to output and don't change them
(its integer value will stay the same)
@b wxCONVERT_SUBSTITUTE
try some (lossy) substitutions
- e.g. replace unconvertible latin capitals with acute by ordinary
capitals, replace en-dash or em-dash by '-' etc.
Both modes guarantee that output string will have same length
as input string.
