# CTFontDrawGlyphs(_:_:_:_:_:) Renders the given glyphs of a font at the specified positions in the supplied graphics context. ``` func CTFontDrawGlyphs(_ font: CTFont, _ glyphs: UnsafePointer, _ positions: UnsafePointer, _ count: Int, _ context: CGContext) ``` ## Parameters `font` The font with glyphs to render. If the font has a size or matrix attribute, `context` is set with these values. `glyphs` The glyphs to be rendered. The glyphs should be the result of proper Unicode text layout operations (such as with `CTLine`). Functions such as [`CTFontGetGlyphsForCharacters(_:_:_:_:)`](/documentation/CoreText/CTFontGetGlyphsForCharacters(_:_:_:_:)) do not perform any Unicode text layout. `positions` The positions (origins) for each glyph in `glyphs`. The positions are in user space. The number of positions passed in must match the number of glyphs (in `glyphs`). `count` The number of glyphs to be rendered from the `glyphs` array. `context` The graphics context used to render the glyphs. ## Discussion This function modifies graphics state including font, text size, and text matrix if these attributes are specified in `font`. These attributes are not restored. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
