TextMeshPro

TextMeshPro (TMP) is a replacement for Unitys existing text components. It makes use of Advanced Text Rendering techniques as well as custom shaders to create vast visual improvements over Unitys default text system, while also giving users access to many new tools for styling and texturing.

Installing TMP​

The TMP package is included with the Unity Editor so there is no installation requirement. However, you do need to add the TMP Essential Resources in order for it to work.

Including Resources​

TMP loads font settings via the Resources folder in Unity, and Plugin's default export settings excludes this folder from builds. To include the Resources folder please tick the box next to "Resources" under the Export type section in the Basic Settings tab (Settings -> Basic).
