Fonts are used for drawing text to a device context, and setting the appearance of a window's text. This class uses @ref overview_trefcount "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. wxSystemSettings @library{wxcore} @category{gdi} @stdobjects ::Objects:, ::wxNullFont, ::Pointers:, ::wxNORMAL_FONT, ::wxSMALL_FONT, ::wxITALIC_FONT, ::wxSWISS_FONT, @see @ref overview_wxfontoverview, wxDC::SetFont, wxDC::DrawText, wxDC::GetTextExtent, wxFontDialog, wxSystemSettings */ class wxFont : public wxGDIObject { public: //@{ /** Creates a font object with the specified attributes. @param pointSize Size in points. @param pixelSize Size in pixels: this is directly supported only under MSW currently where this constructor can be used directly, under other platforms a font with the closest size to the given one is found using binary search and the static New method must be used. @param family Font family, a generic way of referring to fonts without specifying actual facename. One of: wxFONTFAMILY_DEFAULT Chooses a default font. wxFONTFAMILY_DECORATIVE A decorative font. wxFONTFAMILY_ROMAN A formal, serif font. wxFONTFAMILY_SCRIPT A handwriting font. wxFONTFAMILY_SWISS A sans-serif font. wxFONTFAMILY_MODERN A fixed pitch font. wxFONTFAMILY_TELETYPE A teletype font. @param style One of wxFONTSTYLE_NORMAL, wxFONTSTYLE_SLANT and wxFONTSTYLE_ITALIC. @param weight Font weight, sometimes also referred to as font boldness.

Initially, the default application encoding is the same as default system encoding. wxFONTENCODING_ISO8859_1...15 ISO8859 encodings. wxFONTENCODING_KOI8 The standard Russian encoding for Internet. wxFONTENCODING_CP1250...1252 Windows encodings similar to ISO8859 (but not identical).
