it more than once in order to switch to another conversion.

cannot be converted because it does not exist in output encoding:

Return equivalents for given font that are used
under given platform. Supported platforms:

+\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt

\item wxPLATFORM\_WINDOWS
\item wxPLATFORM\_OS2
\item wxPLATFORM\_CURRENT
\end{itemize}
-wxPLATFORM\_CURRENT means the plaform this binary was compiled for.
+wxPLATFORM\_CURRENT means the platform this binary was compiled for.
Examples:

Equivalence is defined in terms of convertibility:
