# ISch_FontManager2 interface

The `ISch_FontManager2` interface represents the internal font manager in Schematic Editor that manages fonts for text based objects on schematic documents. The `ISch_FontManager2` is the same as [`ISch_FontManager`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/sch/ISch_FontManager.md), but all the methods have the Safecall calling convention which is important for SDK purposes.

```csharp
public interface ISch_FontManager2
```

**Namespace:** SCH · **Assembly:** Altium.SDK.Interfaces

## Remarks

To have access to the [`ISch_FontManager`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/sch/ISch_FontManager.md) interface, read [`SCH.GlobalVars.SchServer`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/sch/GlobalVars.md#schserver);
