I found the following in wxPdfDocument (pdffontmanager.cpp): #if defined(__WXMSW__) #include <wx/msw/registry.h> #elif defined(__WXGTK__) #include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h> #elif defined(__WXMAC__) #include "wx/pdffontmacosx.h" #endif So I guess fontconfig is used only on linux, at least for wxPdfDocument. I have not found for wxWidgets itself. For wxWidgets itself, this is what I found from http://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.1/overview_font.html: "A font is determined by the following parameters (not all of them have to be specified, of course): Point size, Family, Style, Weight, Underlining, Face name (If NULL, a default typeface will chosen based on the family). Specifying a family, rather than a specific typeface name, ensures a degree of portability across platforms because a suitable font will be chosen for the given font family, however it doesn't allow to choose a font precisely as the parameters above don't suffice, in general, to identify all the available fonts and this is where using the native font descriptions may be helpful - see below. Under Windows, the face name can be one of the installed fonts on the user's system. Since the choice of fonts differs from system to system, either choose standard Windows fonts, or if allowing the user to specify a face name, store the family name with any file that might be transported to a different Windows machine or other platform." So it seems possible to choose a particular font based on its name. But is it possible to provide the font files to be sure the font is found, I don't know.
