# includeLanguageExtents

An option to include additional space based on common glyph sequences for various languages.

```
static var includeLanguageExtents: CTLineBoundsOptions { get }
```

## Discussion

Use the result of this option when drawing to avoid clipping that the typographic bounds may cause. This option doesn’t have an effect when you use it with [`useGlyphPathBounds`](/documentation/CoreText/CTLineBoundsOptions/useGlyphPathBounds).
