## Discussion

The value associated with this key is an integer represented as a <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreFoundation/CFNumber> object containing one of the [`CTFontManagerScope`](/documentation/CoreText/CTFontManagerScope) enumerated values. A value of `NULL` can be returned for font descriptors that are not registered.
