10 @class wxFontMapper
11 @wxheader{fontmap.h}
12
13 wxFontMapper manages user-definable correspondence between logical font
14 names and the fonts present on the machine.
15
16 The default implementations of all functions will ask the user if they are
17 not capable of finding the answer themselves and store the answer in a
18 config file (configurable via SetConfigXXX functions). This behaviour may
19 be disabled by giving the value of @false to "interactive" parameter.
20
21 However, the functions will always consult the config file to allow the
22 user-defined values override the default logic and there is no way to
23 disable this - which shouldn't be ever needed because if "interactive" was
24 never @true, the config file is never created anyhow.
25
26 In case everything else fails (i.e. there is no record in config file
27 and "interactive" is @false or user denied to choose any replacement),
28 the class queries wxEncodingConverter
29 for "equivalent" encodings (e.g. iso8859-2 and cp1250) and tries them.
