    @class 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 encoding).

    To do this, you just have to call one of EnumerateXXX() functions - either
    wxFontEnumerator::EnumerateFacenames() or wxFontEnumerator::EnumerateEncodings()
    and the corresponding callback (wxFontEnumerator::OnFacename() or
    wxFontEnumerator::OnFontEncoding()) will be called repeatedly until either
    all fonts satisfying the specified criteria are exhausted or the callback
    returns @false.

    @section fontenum_virtual Virtual functions to override

    Either OnFacename or OnFontEncoding should be overridden depending on
    whether you plan to call EnumerateFacenames or EnumerateEncodings.
    Of course, if you call both of them, you should override both functions.
