			<param index="6" name="orientation" type="int" enum="TextServer.Orientation" default="0" />
			<description>
				Returns the size of a bounding box of a single-line string, taking kerning, advance and subpixel positioning into account. See also [method get_multiline_string_size] and [method draw_string].
				For example, to get the string size as displayed by a single-line Label, use:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				var string_size = $Label.get_theme_font("font").get_string_size($Label.text, HORIZONTAL_ALIGNMENT_LEFT, -1, $Label.get_theme_font_size("font_size"))
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				Label label = GetNode&lt;Label&gt;("Label");
				Vector2 stringSize = label.GetThemeFont("font").GetStringSize(label.Text, HorizontalAlignment.Left, -1, label.GetThemeFontSize("font_size"));
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
				[b]Note:[/b] Since kerning, advance and subpixel positioning are taken into account by [method get_string_size], using separate [method get_string_size] calls on substrings of a string then adding the results together will return a different result compared to using a single [method get_string_size] call on the full string.
				[b]Note:[/b] Real height of the string is context-dependent and can be significantly different from the value returned by [method get_height].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_supported_chars" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>

		</method>
		<method name="get_supported_feature_list" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Dictionary" />
			<description>

				Font variations allow for continuous change of glyph characteristics along some given design axis, such as weight, width or slant.
				To print available variation axes of a variable font:
				[codeblock]
				var fv = FontVariation.new()
				fv.set_base_font = load("res://RobotoFlex.ttf")
				var variation_list = fv.get_supported_variation_list()
				for tag in variation_list:
				    var name = TextServerManager.get_primary_interface().tag_to_name(tag)
				    var values = variation_list[tag]
				    print("variation axis: %s (%d)\n\tmin, max, default: %s" % [name, tag, values])
				[/codeblock]
				[b]Note:[/b] To set and get variation coordinates of a [FontVariation], use [member FontVariation.variation_opentype].
