    @class wxFontPickerCtrl

    This control allows the user to select a font. The generic implementation is
    a button which brings up a wxFontDialog when clicked. Native implementation
    may differ but this is usually a (small) widget which give access to the
    font-chooser
    dialog.
    It is only available if @c wxUSE_FONTPICKERCTRL is set to 1 (the default).

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxFNTP_DEFAULT_STYLE}
           The default style: wxFNTP_FONTDESC_AS_LABEL |
           wxFNTP_USEFONT_FOR_LABEL.
    @style{wxFNTP_USE_TEXTCTRL}
           Creates a text control to the left of the picker button which is
           completely managed by the wxFontPickerCtrl and which can be used by
           the user to specify a font (see SetSelectedFont). The text control
           is automatically synchronized with button's value. Use functions
           defined in wxPickerBase to modify the text control.
    @style{wxFNTP_FONTDESC_AS_LABEL}
           Keeps the label of the button updated with the fontface name and
           the font size. E.g. choosing "Times New Roman bold, italic with
           size 10" from the fontdialog, will update the label (overwriting
           any previous label) with the "Times New Roman, 10" text.
    @style{wxFNTP_USEFONT_FOR_LABEL}
           Uses the currently selected font to draw the label of the button.
