NSFontMBS.coveredCharacterSet as Variant

// get the Symbol font
dim n as NSFontMBS = NSFontMBS.fontWithName("Symbol",10)

// what characters are defined for this font?
dim c as NSCharacterSetMBS = n.coveredCharacterSet

// display a string with all the characters
MsgBox c.StringValue

Value is a NSCharacterSetMBS object. Returned as Variant to reduce plugin dependencies.
The number of glyphs supported by a given font is often larger than the number of characters contained in the character set returned by this method.

NSFontMBS.Handle as Integer

(Read and Write property)

NSFontMBS.isFixedPitch as boolean

Returns true if all glyphs in the receiver have the same advancement; false if any advancements differ.

Some Japanese fonts encoded with the scheme "EUC12-NJE-CFEncoding" return that they have the same advancement, but actually encode glyphs with one of two advancements, for historical compatibility. You may need to handle such fonts specially for some applications.

NSFontMBS.italicAngle as Double

Because the slant is measured counterclockwise, English italic fonts typically return a negative value.
(Read only property)

NSFontMBS.leading as Double

Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later.
(Read only property)

NSFontMBS.maximumAdvancement as NSSizeMBS

This advancement is always either strictly horizontal or strictly vertical.
(Read only property)

NSFontMBS.mostCompatibleStringEncoding as Integer

You can use NSString‘s dataUsingEncoding method to convert the string to this encoding.
If this method returns NSASCIIStringEncoding, it could not determine the correct encoding and assumed that the font can render only ASCII characters.
This method works heuristically using well-known font encodings, so for nonstandard encodings it may not in fact return the optimal string encoding.

NSFontMBS.numberOfGlyphs as Integer

dim n as NSFontMBS = NSFontMBS.fontWithName("Monaco", 12)

MsgBox str(n.numberOfGlyphs) // 1678

Glyphs are numbered starting at 0.

NSFontMBS.printerFont as NSFontMBS

When sent to a font object representing a scalable PostScript font, returns self. When sent to a font object representing a bitmapped screen font, returns its corresponding scalable PostScript font.
(Read only property)

NSFontMBS.renderingMode as Integer

Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later.
(Read only property)

NSFontMBS.screenFont as NSFontMBS

When sent to a font object representing a scalable PostScript font, returns a bitmapped screen font matching the receiver in typeface and matrix (or size), or nil if such a font can't be found. When sent to a font object representing a bitmapped screen font, returns nil.

Screen fonts are for direct use with the window server only. Never use them with Application Kit objects, such as in setFont: methods. Internally, the Application Kit automatically uses the corresponding screen font for a font object as long as the view is not rotated or scaled.

NSFontMBS.textTransform as Variant

Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later.

Returns NSAffineTransformMBS. Returned as Variant to reduce plugin dependencies.
