    @class wxFontMapper

    wxFontMapper manages user-definable correspondence between logical font
    names and the fonts present on the machine.

    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...
