Property Descriptions
Array[Font] fallbacks = [] 🔗
Array of fallback Fonts to use as a substitute if a glyph is not found in this current Font.
If this array is empty in a FontVariation, the FontVariation.base_font's fallbacks are used instead.
Method Descriptions
float draw_char(canvas_item: RID, pos: Vector2, char: int, font_size: int, modulate: Color = Color(1, 1, 1, 1)) const 🔗
Draw a single Unicode character char into a canvas item using the font, at a given position, with modulate color. pos specifies the baseline, not the top. To draw from the top, ascent must be added to the Y axis.
Note: Do not use this function to draw strings character by character, use draw_string or TextLine instead.
float draw_char_outline(canvas_item: RID, pos: Vector2, char: int, font_size: int, size: int = -1, modulate: Color = Color(1, 1, 1, 1)) const 🔗
Draw a single Unicode character char outline into a canvas item using the font, at a given position, with modulate color and size outline size. pos specifies the baseline, not the top. To draw from the top, ascent must be added to the Y axis.
Note: Do not use this function to draw strings character by character, use draw_string or TextLine instead.

RID find_variation(variation_coordinates: Dictionary, face_index: int = 0, strength: float = 0.0, transform: Transform2D = Transform2D(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0), spacing_top: int = 0, spacing_bottom: int = 0, spacing_space: int = 0, spacing_glyph: int = 0, baseline_offset: float = 0.0) const 🔗
Returns TextServer RID of the font cache for specific variation.
float get_ascent(font_size: int = 16) const 🔗
Returns the average font ascent (number of pixels above the baseline).
Note: Real ascent of the string is context-dependent and can be significantly different from the value returned by this function. Use it only as rough estimate (e.g. as the ascent of empty line).
Vector2 get_char_size(char: int, font_size: int) const 🔗
Returns the size of a character. Does not take kerning into account.
Note: Do not use this function to calculate width of the string character by character, use get_string_size or TextLine instead. The height returned is the font height (see also get_height) and has no relation to the glyph height.
float get_descent(font_size: int = 16) const 🔗
Returns the average font descent (number of pixels below the baseline).
Note: Real descent of the string is context-dependent and can be significantly different from the value returned by this function. Use it only as rough estimate (e.g. as the descent of empty line).
int get_face_count() const 🔗
Returns number of faces in the TrueType / OpenType collection.
String get_font_name() const 🔗
Returns font family name.
int get_font_stretch() const 🔗
Returns font stretch amount, compared to a normal width. A percentage value between 50% and 200%.
BitField[FontStyle] get_font_style() const 🔗
Returns font style flags, see FontStyle.
String get_font_style_name() const 🔗
Returns font style name.
int get_font_weight() const 🔗
Returns weight (boldness) of the font. A value in the 100...999 range, normal font weight is 400, bold font weight is 700.
float get_height(font_size: int = 16) const 🔗
Returns the total average font height (ascent plus descent) in pixels.
Note: Real height of the string is context-dependent and can be significantly different from the value returned by this function. Use it only as rough estimate (e.g. as the height of empty line).
Vector2 get_multiline_string_size(text: String, alignment: HorizontalAlignment = 0, width: float = -1, font_size: int = 16, max_lines: int = -1, brk_flags: BitField[LineBreakFlag] = 3, justification_flags: BitField[JustificationFlag] = 3, direction: Direction = 0, orientation: Orientation = 0) const 🔗
Returns the size of a bounding box of a string broken into the lines, taking kerning and advance into account.
See also draw_multiline_string.
Dictionary get_opentype_features() const 🔗
Returns a set of OpenType feature tags. More info: OpenType feature tags.
Dictionary get_ot_name_strings() const 🔗
Returns Dictionary with OpenType font name strings (localized font names, version, description, license information, sample text, etc.).
Array[RID] get_rids() const 🔗
Returns Array of valid Font RIDs, which can be passed to the TextServer methods.
int get_spacing(spacing: SpacingType) const 🔗
Returns the spacing for the given type (see SpacingType).
Vector2 get_string_size(text: String, alignment: HorizontalAlignment = 0, width: float = -1, font_size: int = 16, justification_flags: BitField[JustificationFlag] = 3, direction: Direction = 0, orientation: Orientation = 0) const 🔗
Returns the size of a bounding box of a single-line string, taking kerning, advance and subpixel positioning into account. See also get_multiline_string_size and draw_string.
For example, to get the string size as displayed by a single-line Label, use:
var string_size = $Label.get_theme_font("font").get_string_size($Label.text, HORIZONTAL_ALIGNMENT_LEFT, -1, $Label.get_theme_font_size("font_size"))Note: Since kerning, advance and subpixel positioning are taken into account by get_string_size, using separate get_string_size calls on substrings of a string then adding the results together will return a different result compared to using a single get_string_size call on the full string.
Note: Real height of the string is context-dependent and can be significantly different from the value returned by get_height.
String get_supported_chars() const 🔗
Returns a string containing all the characters available in the font.
If a given character is included in more than one font data source, it appears only once in the returned string.
Dictionary get_supported_feature_list() const 🔗
Returns list of OpenType features supported by font.
Dictionary get_supported_variation_list() const 🔗
Returns list of supported variation coordinates, each coordinate is returned as tag: Vector3i(min_value,max_value,default_value).
Font variations allow for continuous change of glyph characteristics along some given design axis, such as weight, width or slant.
To print available variation axes of a variable font:
var fv = FontVariation.new()
fv.base_font = load("res://RobotoFlex.ttf")
var variation_list = fv.get_supported_variation_list()
for tag in variation_list:
var name = TextServerManager.get_primary_interface().tag_to_name(tag)
var values = variation_list[tag]
print("variation axis: %s (%d)\n\tmin, max, default: %s" % [name, tag, values])Note: To set and get variation coordinates of a FontVariation, use FontVariation.variation_opentype.
float get_underline_position(font_size: int = 16) const 🔗
Returns average pixel offset of the underline below the baseline.
Note: Real underline position of the string is context-dependent and can be significantly different from the value returned by this function. Use it only as rough estimate.
float get_underline_thickness(font_size: int = 16) const 🔗
Returns average thickness of the underline.
Note: Real underline thickness of the string is context-dependent and can be significantly different from the value returned by this function. Use it only as rough estimate.
bool has_char(char: int) const 🔗
Returns true if a Unicode char is available in the font.
bool is_language_supported(language: String) const 🔗
Returns true, if font supports given language (ISO 639 code).
bool is_script_supported(script: String) const 🔗
Returns true, if font supports given script (ISO 15924 code).
