\section{Font encoding overview}\label{wxfontencodingoverview}
-wxWindows has support for multiple font encodings starting from release 2.2.
+wxWidgets has support for multiple font encodings starting from release 2.2.
By encoding we mean here the mapping between the character codes and the
letters. Probably the most well-known encoding is (7 bit) ASCII one which is
used almost universally now to represent the letters of the English alphabet
note that we will only discuss 8-bit fonts here and not
\helpref{Unicode}{unicode}.
-Font encoding support is assured by several classes:
+Font encoding support is ensured by several classes:
\helpref{wxFont}{wxfont} itself, but also
\helpref{wxFontEnumerator}{wxfontenumerator} and
\helpref{wxFontMapper}{wxfontmapper}. wxFont encoding support is reflected by
used on the Internet), ISO8859-5 (ISO standard for Cyrillic) and CP1251
(WinCyrillic).

+This abundance of (incompatible) encodings should make it clear that using
encodings is less easy than it might seem. The problems arise both from the
fact that the standard encodings for the given language (say Russian, which is
written in Cyrillic) are different on different platforms and because the
fonts in the given encoding might just not be installed (this is especially a
problem with Unix, or, in general, non-Win32 systems).
-To allow to see clearer in this, \helpref{wxFontEnumerator}{wxfontenumerator}
+To clarify, the \helpref{wxFontEnumerator}{wxfontenumerator}
class may be used to enumerate both all available encodings and to find the
facename(s) in which the given encoding exists. If you can find the font in
the correct encoding with wxFontEnumerator then your troubles are over, but,
unfortunately, sometimes this is not enough. For example, there is no standard

+way (that I know of, please tell me if you do!) to find a font on a Windows system
for KOI8 encoding (only for WinCyrillic one which is quite different), so
\helpref{wxFontEnumerator}{wxfontenumerator} will never return one, even if
the user has installed a KOI8 font on his system.
This class stores the mapping between the encodings and the font face
names which support them in \helpref{wxConfig}{wxconfigoverview} object. Of
course, it would be fairly useless if it tried to determine these mappings by

so that the next time the program will automatically choose the correct font.
