###### (This function is part of SDL_ttf, a separate library from SDL.) # TTF_SizeUTF8 Calculate the dimensions of a rendered string of UTF-8 text. ## Header File Defined in [](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf/blob/main/include/SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h) ## Syntax ```c bool TTF_SizeUTF8(TTF_Font *font, const char *text, int *w, int *h); ``` ## Function Parameters | | | | | ---------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | [TTF_Font](TTF_Font) * | **font** | the font to query. | | const char * | **text** | text to calculate, in UTF-8 encoding. | | int * | **w** | will be filled with width, in pixels, on return. | | int * | **h** | will be filled with height, in pixels, on return. | ## Return Value (bool) Returns true on success or false on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information. ## Remarks This will report the width and height, in pixels, of the space that the specified string will take to fully render. This does not need to render the string to do this calculation. ## Version This function is available since SDL_ttf 3.0.0. ## See Also - [TTF_SizeUNICODE](TTF_SizeUNICODE) ---- [CategoryAPI](CategoryAPI), [CategoryAPIFunction](CategoryAPIFunction)
