Returns detailed information on a font object

fontName, fontHeight, fontFlags = MyFontObject:GetFont()

Returns

fontName

String - path to font file

fontHeight

Number - font height in pixels. Due to internal graphics engine workings, this will be ridiculously close to an integer number, but not quite ever fully

fontFlags

String - See FontInstance:SetFont().

Example

print(GameFontNormal:GetFont());

> "Fonts\FRIZQT__.TTF"
> 12.000000298023
> ""

Notes

To get an integer font height, simply do math.floor(fontHeight+0.5);
