# includeDisabledFontsOption

An NSNumber object containing a Boolean value specifying whether disabled fonts should be included in the list of matching descriptors.

```
static let includeDisabledFontsOption: NSFontCollectionMatchingOptionKey
```

## Discussion

<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> indicates they should be included. When unspecified, CoreText assumes <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>. This option is intended only for font management applications. This option will make descriptor matching slower.
