{{DISPLAYTITLE:_FONTWIDTH}}
The [[_FONTWIDTH]] function returns the font width of a MONOSPACE font handle created by [[_LOADFONT]].


{{PageSyntax}}
:{{Parameter|pixelWidth%}} = [[_FONTWIDTH]][({{Parameter|fontHandle&}})]


* Returns the character width of the last font used if a handle is not specified.
* '''Variable width fonts always return {{Parameter|pixelWidth%}} = 0.''' Even fixed width fonts return 0 unless the [[LOADFONT|"MONOSPACE"]] style option is used.
* QB64 '''version 1.000 and up''' can load a variable width font as monospaced with the [[LOADFONT|"MONOSPACE"]] style parameter.
* The font width is generally 3/4 of the [[_FONTHEIGHT]] specified when loading the font.
* In '''graphics''' [[SCREEN (statement)|screen]] modes, [[_PRINTWIDTH]] can return the total '''pixel width''' of a literal or variable [[STRING|string]] of text.
