FontFace: descentOverride property

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The descentOverride property of the FontFace interface returns and sets the value of the descent-override descriptor. The possible values are normal, indicating that the metric used should be obtained from the font file, or a percentage.

Value

A string.

Examples

js
let fontFace = new FontFace(
  "Roboto",
  "url(https://fonts.example.com/roboto.woff2)",
  { descentOverride: "90%" },
);
console.log(fontFace.descentOverride); // 90%
fontFace.descentOverride = "normal";
console.log(fontFace.descentOverride); // 'normal'
