    @class wxFontEnumerator
    @wxheader{fontenum.h}

    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.
