#include <wx/font.h>
A font list is a list containing all fonts which have been created.
There is only one instance of this class: wxTheFontList.
Use this object to search for a previously created font of the desired type and create it if not already found.
In some windowing systems, the font may be a scarce resource, so it is best to reuse old resources if possible. When an application finishes, all fonts will be deleted and their resources freed, eliminating the possibility of 'memory leaks'.

wxFontList::wxFontList | ( | ) |
Constructor.
The application should not construct its own font list: use the object pointer wxTheFontList.
wxFont* wxFontList::FindOrCreateFont | ( | const wxFontInfo & | fontInfo | ) |
Finds a font of the given specification, or creates one and adds it to the list.
See the wxFont constructor for details of the arguments.
Example of using this function to retrieve (creating it if necessary) a bold font of size 20:
wxFont* wxFontList::FindOrCreateFont | ( | int | point_size, |
wxFontFamily | family, | ||
wxFontStyle | style, | ||
wxFontWeight | weight, | ||
bool | underline = false , |
||
const wxString & | facename = wxEmptyString , |
||
wxFontEncoding | encoding = wxFONTENCODING_DEFAULT |
||
) |
Finds a font of the given specification, or creates one and adds it to the list.
See the wxFont constructor for details of the arguments.
Note that in the new code it's preferable to use FindOrCreateFont() overload taking wxFontInfo, as it can be used for the fonts with fractional point sizes or fonts with sizes specified in pixels, unlike this overload which can only be used with the fonts using integer size in points.
