# mfont\_get\_prop(3m17n)

## NAME

mfont\_get\_prop -

## SYNOPSIS

void\* **mfont\_get\_prop** (**MFont** \* *font*, MSymbol *key*)

## DESCRIPTION

Get a property value of a font. The **mfont\_get\_prop()** function gets the value of **key** property of font **font**. **key** must be one of the following symbols:

`Mfoundry`, `Mfamily`, `Mweight`, `Mstyle`, `Mstretch`, `Madstyle`, `Mregistry`, `Msize`, `Mresolution`, `Mspacing`.

If **font** is a return value of **mfont\_find()**, **key** can also be one of the following symbols:

**Mfont\_ascent**, **Mfont\_descent**, **Mmax\_advance**.

## RETURN VALUE

If **key** is `Mfoundry`, `Mfamily`, `Mweight`, `Mstyle`, `Mstretch`, `Madstyle`, `Mregistry`, or `Mspacing`, this function returns the corresponding value as a symbol. If the font does not have **key** property, it returns `Mnil`. If **key** is `Msize`, `Mresolution`, **Mfont\_ascent**, Mfont\_descent, or **Mmax\_advance**, this function returns the corresponding value as an integer. If the font does not have **key** property, it returns 0. If **key** is something else, it returns `NULL` and assigns an error code to the external variable **merror\_code**. \
