Use pango_font_description_copy() to copy fonts instead of
pango_font_description_to_string() and pango_font_description_from_string()
via wxNativeFontInfo::{To,From}String() respectively.
This is not only more efficient but also preserves the original family whereas
wxNativeFontInfo::FromString() helpfully replaces any fonts it doesn't know
about with the normal font name. That behaviour is probably wrong on its own,
but for now at least avoid silently changing fonts when copying them.

It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at http://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at http://docs.wxwidgets.org/
