SystemFont
==========

**Inherits:** :ref:`Font<class_Font>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Font loaded from a system font.

\ **Note:** This class is implemented on iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows, on other platforms it will fallback to default theme font.

Description
-----------

``SystemFont`` loads a font from a system font with the first matching name from :ref:`font_names<class_SystemFont_property_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" and/or "italic" features set.

You can create :ref:`FontVariation<class_FontVariation>` of the system font for fine control over its features.

Font glyph sub-pixel 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 :ref:`TextServer.SUBPIXEL_POSITIONING_AUTO<class_TextServer_constant_SUBPIXEL_POSITIONING_AUTO>` to automatically enable it based on the font size.
