\section{\class{wxFontList}}\label{wxfontlist}

A font list is a list containing all fonts which have been created. There
is only one instance of this class: {\bf wxTheFontList}.  Use this object to search
for a previously created font of the desired type and create it if not already found.
In some windowing systems, the font may be a scarce resource, so it is best to
reuse old resources if possible.  When an application finishes, all fonts will be
deleted and their resources freed, eliminating the possibility of `memory leaks'.

\func{}{wxFontList}{\void}

Constructor. The application should not construct its own font list:
use the object pointer {\bf wxTheFontList}.

\membersection{wxFontList::FindOrCreateFont}\label{findorcreatefont}

\func{wxFont *}{FindOrCreateFont}{\param{int}{ point\_size}, \param{int}{ family}, \param{int}{ style}, \param{int}{ weight}, \param{bool}{ underline = false},
 \param{const wxString\& }{facename = NULL}, \param{wxFontEncoding }{encoding = wxFONTENCODING\_DEFAULT}{}}

Finds a font of the given specification, or creates one and adds it to the list. See the \helpref{wxFont constructor}{wxfontctor} for
details of the arguments.
