# boundingRect(forGlyph:)

Returns the bounding rectangle for the specified glyph, scaled to the receiver’s size.

## Declaration

```swift
func boundingRect(forGlyph glyph: NSGlyph) -> NSRect
```

## Discussion

Discussion Japanese fonts encoded with the scheme “EUC12-NJE-CFEncoding” do not have individual metrics or bounding boxes available for the glyphs above 127. For those glyphs, this method returns the bounding rectangle for the font instead.
