# controlContentFont(ofSize:)

Returns the font used for the content of controls in the specified size.

```
class func controlContentFont(ofSize fontSize: CGFloat) -> NSFont
```

## Parameters

`fontSize`

The size in points to which the font is scaled.

## Return Value

A font object of the specified size.

## Discussion

For example, in a table, the user’s input uses the control content font, and the table’s header uses another font. If `fontSize` is 0 or negative, returns the control content font at the default size.
