235 @class wxFont
7c913512 236
0b70c946
FM
237 A font is an object which determines the appearance of text.
238 Fonts are used for drawing text to a device context, and setting the appearance
239 of a window's text.
7c913512 240
0b70c946 241 This class uses @ref overview_refcount "reference counting and copy-on-write"
23324ae1
FM
242 internally so that assignments between two instances of this class are very
243 cheap. You can therefore use actual objects instead of pointers without
244 efficiency problems. If an instance of this class is changed it will create
245 its own data internally so that other instances, which previously shared the
246 data using the reference counting, are not affected.
7c913512 247
23324ae1 248 You can retrieve the current system font settings with wxSystemSettings.
