\section{\class{wxFontEnumerator}}\label{wxfontenumerator}

wxFontEnumerator enumerates either all available fonts on the system or only
the ones with given attributes - either only fixed-width (suited for use in
programs such as terminal emulators and the like) or the fonts available in
the given \helpref{encoding}{wxfontencodingoverview}.

To do this, you just have to call one of EnumerateXXX() functions - either 
\helpref{EnumerateFacenames}{wxfontenumeratorenumeratefacenames} or 
\helpref{EnumerateEncodings}{wxfontenumeratorenumerateencodings} and the
corresponding callback (\helpref{OnFacename}{wxfontenumeratoronfacename} or 
\helpref{OnFontEncoding}{wxfontenumeratoronfontencoding}) will be called
repeatedly until either all fonts satisfying the specified criteria are
exhausted or the callback returns FALSE.

\wxheading{Virtual functions to override}

Either \helpref{OnFacename}{wxfontenumeratoronfacename} or 
\helpref{OnFontEncoding}{wxfontenumeratoronfontencoding} should be overridden
depending on whether you plan to call 
\helpref{EnumerateFacenames}{wxfontenumeratorenumeratefacenames} or 
\helpref{EnumerateEncodings}{wxfontenumeratorenumerateencodings}. Of course,
if you call both of them, you should override both functions.

\membersection{wxFontEnumerator::EnumerateFacenames}\label{wxfontenumeratorenumeratefacenames}

\func{virtual bool}{EnumerateFacenames}{
    \param{wxFontEncoding }{encoding = wxFONTENCODING\_SYSTEM},
    \param{bool }{fixedWidthOnly = FALSE}}

Call \helpref{OnFacename}{wxfontenumeratoronfacename} for each font which
supports given encoding (only if it is not wxFONTENCODING\_SYSTEM) and is of
fixed width (if {\it fixedWidthOnly} is TRUE).

Calling this function with default arguments will result in enumerating all
fonts available on the system.

\membersection{wxFontEnumerator::EnumerateEncodings}\label{wxfontenumeratorenumerateencodings}

\func{virtual bool}{EnumerateEncodings}{\param{const wxString\& }{font = ""}}

Call \helpref{OnFontEncoding}{wxfontenumeratoronfontencoding} for each
encoding supported by the given font - or for each encoding supported by at
least some font if {\it font} is not specified.


\membersection{wxFontEnumerator::GetEncodings}\label{wxfontenumeratorgetencodings}

\func{wxArrayString*}{GetEncodings}{\void}

Return array of strings containing all encodings found by 
\helpref{EnumerateEncodings}{wxfontenumeratorenumerateencodings}. This is convenience function. It is 
based on default implementation of \helpref{OnFontEncoding}{wxfontenumeratoronfontencoding} so don't expect
it to work if you overwrite that method.

\membersection{wxFontEnumerator::GetFacenames}\label{wxfontenumeratorgetfacenames}

\func{wxArrayString*}{GetFacenames}{\void}

Return array of strings containing all facenames found by 
\helpref{EnumerateFacenames}{wxfontenumeratorenumeratefacenames}. This is convenience function. It is 
based on default implementation of \helpref{OnFacename}{wxfontenumeratoronfacename} so don't expect
it to work if you overwrite that method.


\membersection{wxFontEnumerator::OnFacename}\label{wxfontenumeratoronfacename}

\func{virtual bool}{OnFacename}{\param{const wxString\& }{font}}

Called by \helpref{EnumerateFacenames}{wxfontenumeratorenumeratefacenames} for
each match. Return TRUE to continue enumeration or FALSE to stop it.

\membersection{wxFontEnumerator::OnFontEncoding}\label{wxfontenumeratoronfontencoding}

\func{virtual bool}{OnFontEncoding}{
 \param{const wxString\& }{font},
 \param{const wxString\& }{encoding}
}

Called by \helpref{EnumerateEncodings}{wxfontenumeratorenumerateencodings} for
each match. Return TRUE to continue enumeration or FALSE to stop it.
