wxRichTextFormattingDialog and wxRichTextAttr

[Jürgen]

Hi Julian,

worked great - thanks. Maybe a small suggestion for a interface design
rewrite: why havent you used same look&feel for each textattr function?
e.g.:
GetUnderlined() -> bool
GetWeight() = enum
GetStyle() = enum
GetTextEffects() = enum
GetFontFacename() = wxString
GetFontSize() = int

The names and functions are ok, but imho i would say that GetUnderlined()
should be part of GetTextEffects(). Same with GetStyle().
Underlining and making a text slant or italic is maybe not the same as a
strikethrough, but they would fit there very well. It was a little bit
confusing that there were so many functions that do nearly the same and
sometimes they even return true or false :)

Maybe there could be wrappers for the things most users use?
e.g.
GetUnderlined() -> bool
GetStrikethrough() -> bool
GetItalic() -> bool and so on.

kind regards, juergen
