@class wxFontInfo
This class is a helper used for wxFont creation using named parameter
idiom: it allows to specify various wxFont attributes using the chained
calls to its clearly named methods instead of passing them in the fixed
order to wxFont constructors.
For example, to create an italic font with the given face name and size you
could use:
@code
wxFont font(wxFontInfo(12).FaceName("Helvetica").Italic());
@endcode
Notice that all of the methods of this object return a reference to the
object itself, allowing the calls to them to be chained as in the example
above.
All methods taking boolean parameters can be used to turn the specified
font attribute on or off and turn it on by default.

@class wxFont
A font is an object which determines the appearance of text.
Fonts are used for drawing text to a device context, and setting the appearance
of a window's text, see wxDC::SetFont() and wxWindow::SetFont().
The easiest way to create a custom font is to use wxFontInfo object to
specify the font attributes and then use wxFont::wxFont(const wxFontInfo&)
constructor. Alternatively, you could start with one of the pre-defined
fonts or use wxWindow::GetFont() and modify the font, e.g. by increasing
its size using MakeLarger() or changing its weight using MakeBold().
This class uses @ref overview_refcount "reference counting and copy-on-write"
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.
You can retrieve the current system font settings with wxSystemSettings.

/**
Creates the font corresponding to the given native font description string and

Unlike SetNativeFontInfo(), this function accepts strings which are user-friendly.
Examples of accepted string formats are:
@beginTable
@hdr3col{platform, generic syntax, example}
@row3col{wxGTK2, [underlined] [strikethrough] [FACE-NAME] [bold] [oblique|italic] [POINTSIZE], Monospace bold 10}
@row3col{wxMSW, [light|bold] [italic] [FACE-NAME] [POINTSIZE] [ENCODING], Tahoma 10 WINDOWS-1252}
@endTable
@todo add an example for wxMac
For more detailed information about the allowed syntaxes you can look at the
documentation of the native API used for font-rendering
(e.g. @c pango_font_description_from_string under GTK, although notice
that it doesn't support the "underlined" and "strikethrough" attributes
and so those are handled by wxWidgets itself).
Note that unlike SetNativeFontInfo(), this function doesn't always restore all
attributes of the wxFont object under all platforms; e.g. on wxMSW the font family
is not restored (because GetNativeFontInfoUserDesc doesn't return it on wxMSW).
If you want to serialize/deserialize a font in string form, you should use
GetNativeFontInfoDesc() and SetNativeFontInfo() instead.
