font.h File Reference

## Classes
class | wxFontInfo
| This class is a helper used for wxFont creation using named parameter idiom: it allows specifying various wxFont attributes using the chained calls to its clearly named methods instead of passing them in the fixed order to wxFont constructors. More...
class | wxFont
| A font is an object which determines the appearance of text. More...
class | wxFontList
| A font list is a list containing all fonts which have been created. More...

## ◆ wxFontFamily

enum wxFontFamily

Standard font families: these are used mainly during wxFont creation to specify the generic properties of the font without hardcoding in the sources a specific face name.

wxFontFamily thus allows grouping the font face names of fonts with similar properties. Most wxWidgets ports use lists of fonts for each font family inspired by the data taken from http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family.

Enumerator
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. Note that wxFont currently does not make distinctions between `wxFONTFAMILY_MODERN` and `wxFONTFAMILY_TELETYPE`.
wxFONTFAMILY_TELETYPE | A teletype (i.e. monospaced) font. Monospace fonts have a fixed width like typewriters and often have strong angular or block serifs. Monospace font faces are often used code samples and have a simple, functional font style. See also wxFont::IsFixedWidth() for an easy way to test for monospace property.
wxFONTFAMILY_MAX |
wxFONTFAMILY_UNKNOWN | Invalid font family value, returned by wxFont::GetFamily() when the font is invalid for example.

## ◆ wxFontFlag

enum wxFontFlag

The font flag bits for the new font ctor accepting one combined flags word.

Enumerator
wxFONTFLAG_DEFAULT | no special flags: font with default weight/slant/anti-aliasing
wxFONTFLAG_ITALIC | slant flags (default: no slant)
wxFONTFLAG_SLANT |
wxFONTFLAG_LIGHT | weight flags (default: medium)
wxFONTFLAG_BOLD |
wxFONTFLAG_ANTIALIASED | anti-aliasing flag: force on or off (default: the current system default)
wxFONTFLAG_NOT_ANTIALIASED |
wxFONTFLAG_UNDERLINED | Underlined style (not underlined by default).
wxFONTFLAG_STRIKETHROUGH | Strike-through style (implemented in MSW, GTK, and wxOSX).
wxFONTFLAG_MASK | the mask of all currently used flags

## ◆ wxFontStyle

enum wxFontStyle

Font styles.

Enumerator
wxFONTSTYLE_NORMAL | The font is drawn without slant.
wxFONTSTYLE_ITALIC | The font is slanted in an italic style.
wxFONTSTYLE_SLANT | The font is slanted, but in a roman style. Note that under wxMSW this style is the same as `wxFONTSTYLE_ITALIC`.
wxFONTSTYLE_MAX |

## ◆ wxFontSymbolicSize

enum wxFontSymbolicSize

Symbolic font sizes.

The elements of this enum correspond to CSS absolute size specifications, see http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/fonts.html#font-size-props

See also
  wxFont::SetSymbolicSize()

Since
  2.9.2

Enumerator
wxFONTSIZE_XX_SMALL | Extra small.
wxFONTSIZE_X_SMALL | Very small.
wxFONTSIZE_SMALL | Small.
wxFONTSIZE_MEDIUM | Normal.
wxFONTSIZE_LARGE | Large.
wxFONTSIZE_X_LARGE | Very large.
wxFONTSIZE_XX_LARGE | Extra large.

## ◆ wxFontWeight

enum wxFontWeight

Font weights.

The values of this enum correspond to the CSS font weight specifications, see https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-4/#font-weight-prop, with the addition of one font weight bolder than heavy

Enumerator
wxFONTWEIGHT_INVALID | Invalid font weight. Since 3.1.2
wxFONTWEIGHT_THIN | Thin font (weight = 100). Since 3.1.2
wxFONTWEIGHT_EXTRALIGHT | Extra Light (Ultra Light) font (weight = 200). Since 3.1.2
wxFONTWEIGHT_LIGHT | Light font (weight = 300).

wxFONTWEIGHT_MEDIUM | Medium font (weight = 500). Since 3.1.2
wxFONTWEIGHT_SEMIBOLD | Semi Bold (Demi Bold) font (weight = 600). Since 3.1.2
wxFONTWEIGHT_BOLD | Bold font (weight = 700).
wxFONTWEIGHT_EXTRABOLD | Extra Bold (Ultra Bold) font (weight = 800). Since 3.1.2
wxFONTWEIGHT_HEAVY | Heavy (Black) font (weight = 900). Since 3.1.2
wxFONTWEIGHT_EXTRAHEAVY | Extra Heavy font (weight = 1000). Since 3.1.2
wxFONTWEIGHT_MAX |
