## Methods

| Method | Returns | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [GetFontID](#getfontid) | `int` | This method retrieves the font ID of TFontID type that can be used to set the font style of a text based object such as a [`ISch_Label`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/sch/ISch_Label.md) object. |
| [GetFontSize](#getfontsize) | `int` |  |
| [GetFontSpec](#getfontspec) | `void` | Every font used in the Schematic document has its own FontID. |
| [Import_FromUser](#import_fromuser) | `bool` |  |
| [IsFontVertical](#isfontvertical) | `bool` | This method determines whether the font is vertically orientated or not. |

### GetFontID

This method retrieves the font ID of TFontID type that can be used to set the font style of a text based object such as a [`ISch_Label`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/sch/ISch_Label.md) object.

```csharp
int GetFontID(int argSize, int argRotation, bool argUnderline, bool argItalic, bool argBold, bool argStrikeOut, string argFontName);
```

| Parameter | Type | Passing |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `argSize` | `int` | value |
| `argRotation` | `int` | value |
| `argUnderline` | `bool` | value |
| `argItalic` | `bool` | value |
| `argBold` | `bool` | value |
| `argStrikeOut` | `bool` | value |
| `argFontName` | `string` | value |

**Returns:** `int`

**Example:** Give a rotated label a font with the same rotation.

```csharp
using SCH;

ISch_ServerInterface schServer = SCH.GlobalVars.SchServer;
ISch_Document schDoc = schServer?.GetCurrentSchDocument();
if (schDoc == null)
    return;
var aLabel = schServer.SchObjectFactory(TObjectId.eLabel, TObjectCreationMode.eCreate_GlobalCopy) as ISch_Label;
if (aLabel == null)
    return;

aLabel.SetState_Orientation(TRotationBy90.eRotate90);
aLabel.SetState_FontId(schServer.GetState_FontManager().GetFontID(14, 90, false, false, false, false, "Times New Roman"));
// Note eRotate90 for the Orientation property, and a 90 value as a parameter for the GetFontID method.
schDoc.RegisterSchObjectInContainer(aLabel);
```

### GetFontSize

*No description yet.*

```csharp
int GetFontSize(int argFontID);
```

| Parameter | Type | Passing |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `argFontID` | `int` | value |

**Returns:** `int`

### GetFontSpec

Every font used in the Schematic document has its own FontID. You can invoke the `GetFontSpec` method to retrieve font specifications for the supplied Font ID.

```csharp
void GetFontSpec(int argFontID, ref int argSize, ref int argRotation, ref bool argUnderline, ref bool argItalic, ref bool argBold, ref bool argStrikeOut, ref string argFontName);
```

| Parameter | Type | Passing |

bool Import_FromUser(ref int argFontID);
```

| Parameter | Type | Passing |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `argFontID` | `int` | ref |
