used for drawing text to a device context, and setting the appearance of
a window's text.
+This class uses \helpref{reference counting and copy-on-write}{trefcount}
+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.

\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
\func{bool}{operator $==$}{\param{const wxFont\& }{font}}
-Equality operator. Two fonts are equal if they contain pointers
-to the same underlying font data. It does not compare each attribute,
-so two independently-created fonts using the same parameters will
-fail the test.
