  11     Standard font families: these are used mainly during wxFont creation to specify
  12     the generic properties of the font without hardcoding in the sources a specific
  13     face name.
  14
  15     wxFontFamily thus allows to group the font face names of fonts with similar
  16     properties. Most wxWidgets ports use lists of fonts for each font family
  17     inspired by the data taken from http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family.

 271
 272     A font is an object which determines the appearance of text.
 273     Fonts are used for drawing text to a device context, and setting the appearance
 274     of a window's text.
 275
 276     This class uses @ref overview_refcount "reference counting and copy-on-write"
 277     internally so that assignments between two instances of this class are very
 278     cheap. You can therefore use actual objects instead of pointers without
 279     efficiency problems. If an instance of this class is changed it will create
 280     its own data internally so that other instances, which previously shared the
 281     data using the reference counting, are not affected.
 282
 283     You can retrieve the current system font settings with wxSystemSettings.

 365             Font weight, sometimes also referred to as font boldness.
 366             One of the ::wxFontWeight enumeration values.
 367         @param underline
 368             The value can be @true or @false.
 369             At present this has an effect on Windows and Motif 2.x only.
 370         @param faceName
 371             An optional string specifying the face name to be used.
 372             If it is an empty string, a default face name will be chosen based on the family.
 373         @param encoding
 374             An encoding which may be one of the enumeration values of ::wxFontEncoding.
 375             Briefly these can be summed up as:

 381                     fonts by default with KOI8 encoding. Initially, the default application
 382                     encoding is the same as default system encoding.</TD></TR>

 386             </TABLE>
 387             If the specified encoding isn't available, no font is created
 388             (see also @ref overview_fontencoding).
