-    @class wxFont

 
 

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

+/**
+    Standard font families: these are used mainly during wxFont creation to specify
+    the generic properties of the font without hardcoding in the sources a specific
+    face name.

 
 

-    @see @ref overview_wxfontoverview, wxDC::SetFont, wxDC::DrawText,
-    wxDC::GetTextExtent, wxFontDialog, wxSystemSettings
+    wxFontFamily thus allows to group the font face names of fonts with similar
+    properties. Most wxWidgets ports use lists of fonts for each font family
+    inspired by the data taken from http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family.
