# isFixedPitch

A Boolean value indicating whether all glyphs in the font have the same advancement.

## Declaration

```swift
var isFixedPitch: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The value of this property is true when all glyphs have the same advancement or false when they do not. Some Japanese fonts encoded with the scheme “EUC12-NJE-CFEncoding” return that they have the same advancement, but actually encode glyphs with one of two advancements, for historical compatibility. You may need to handle such fonts specially for some applications.
