\func{}{\destruct{wxFont}}{\void}
Destructor.
+See \helpref{reference-counted object destruction}{refcountdestruct} for more info.
\wxheading{Remarks}
-The destructor may not delete the underlying font object of the native windowing
-system, since wxFont uses a reference counting system for efficiency.
-
Although all remaining fonts are deleted when the application exits,
the application should try to clean up all fonts itself. This is because
wxWidgets cannot know if a pointer to the font object is stored in an
\constfunc{wxString}{GetNativeFontInfoDesc}{\void}
-Returns the platform-dependent string completely describing this font or an
-empty string if the font wasn't constructed using the native font description.
+Returns the platform-dependent string completely describing this font.
+Returned string is always non-empty.
+Note that the returned string is not meant to be shown or edited by the user: a typical
