SystemFont

Inherits Font

A font loaded from a system font. Falls back to a default theme font if not implemented on the host OS.

Description

SystemFont loads a font from a system font with the first matching name from font_names. It will attempt to match font style, but it's not guaranteed. The returned font might be part of a font collection or be a variable font with OpenType "weight", "width" and/or "italic" features set. You can create FontVariation of the system font for precise control over its features. Note: This class is implemented on iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows, on other platforms it will fallback to default theme font.

Properties

`bool allow_system_fallback = true`

If set to true, system fonts can be automatically used as fallbacks.

`int antialiasing = 1`

Font anti-aliasing mode.

`bool disable_embedded_bitmaps = true`

If set to true, embedded font bitmap loading is disabled (bitmap-only and color fonts ignore this property).

`bool font_italic = false`

If set to true, italic or oblique font is preferred.

`PackedStringArray font_names = PackedStringArray()`

Array of font family names to search, first matching font found is used.

`int font_stretch = 100`

Preferred font stretch amount, compared to a normal width. A percentage value between 50% and 200%.

`int font_weight = 400`

Preferred weight (boldness) of the font. A value in the 100...999 range, normal font weight is 400, bold font weight is 700.

`bool force_autohinter = false`

If set to true, auto-hinting is supported and preferred over font built-in hinting.

`bool generate_mipmaps = false`

If set to true, generate mipmaps for the font textures.

`int hinting = 1`

Font hinting mode.

`bool keep_rounding_remainders = true`

If set to true, when aligning glyphs to the pixel boundaries rounding remainders are accumulated to ensure more uniform glyph distribution. This setting has no effect if subpixel positioning is enabled.

`bool modulate_color_glyphs = false`

If set to true, color modulation is applied when drawing colored glyphs, otherwise it's applied to the monochrome glyphs only.

`int msdf_pixel_range = 16`

The width of the range around the shape between the minimum and maximum representable signed distance. If using font outlines, msdf_pixel_range must be set to at least twice the size of the largest font outline. The default msdf_pixel_range value of 16 allows outline sizes up to 8 to look correct.

`int msdf_size = 48`

Source font size used to generate MSDF textures. Higher values allow for more precision, but are slower to render and require more memory. Only increase this value if you notice a visible lack of precision in glyph rendering.

`bool multichannel_signed_distance_field = false`

If set to true, glyphs of all sizes are rendered using single multichannel signed distance field generated from the dynamic font vector data.

`float oversampling = 0.0`

If set to a positive value, overrides the oversampling factor of the viewport this font is used in. See Viewport.oversampling. This value doesn't override the [code skip-lint]oversampling[/code] parameter of [code skip-lint]draw_*[/code] methods.

`int subpixel_positioning = 1`

Font glyph subpixel positioning mode. Subpixel positioning provides shaper text and better kerning for smaller font sizes, at the cost of memory usage and font rasterization speed. Use TextServer.SUBPIXEL_POSITIONING_AUTO to automatically enable it based on the font size.
