\func{}{wxCSConv}{\param{const wxChar* }{charset}}
-Constructor. Specify the name of the character set you want to convert
-from/to.
+\func{}{wxCSConv}{\param{wxFontEncoding }{encoding}}
+
+Constructor. You may specify either the name of the character set you want to
+convert from/to or an encoding constant. If the character set name (or the
+encoding) is not recognized, ISO 8859-1 is used as fall back.

\func{}{\destruct{wxCSConv}}{\void}
-Destructor.
+Destructor frees any resources needed to perform the conversion.

-\func{void}{LoadNow}{\void}
+\constfunc{bool}{IsOk}{\void}
+
+Returns \true if the charset (or the encoding) given at constructor is really
+available to use. Returns \false if ISO 8859-1 will be used instead.
+
+Note this does \emph{not} mean that a given string will be correctly converted.
+A malformed string may still make conversion functions return \texttt{wxCONV\_FAILED}.

-If the conversion tables needs to be loaded from disk, this method
-will do so. Otherwise, they will be loaded when any of the conversion
-methods are called.
