# keyEquivalentFont

The font used to draw the button’s key equivalent.

```
var keyEquivalentFont: NSFont? { get set }
```

## Discussion

The value of this property is the font object that describes the font used to draw the button’s key equivalent. If the property value is `nil`, the button doesn’t have a key equivalent. Setting this property redraws the button if necessary. Setting this property on a button that has no key equivalent does nothing.

Note that the default font is the same as the font used to draw the title.
