Here’s my second addition to the Unity Asset Store:
Pixel-Perfect Dynamic Text for Unity
Here’s a “TL;DR” description of what’s it all about:
Pixel-perfect Dynamic Fonts for Unity! Dynamic Text is a component for displaying pixel-perfect camera-facing text. Size & position are defined in world units. Sharp like built-in GUIText, but part of the scene like TextMesh.
The Pixel-Perfect Dynamic Text page linked above has lots more info which I’m not going to repeat all here. But, shortly said, the page describes some common issues when working with text, and how the Pixel-Perfect Dynamic Text asset helps to solve them. There’s also a long list of features to convince you why it’s good. However, also the few trade-offs and caveats are listed. And, there’s a bunch of questions and answers listed and the version history.
But, don’t forget to check out the interactive demo (Unity Webplayer plugin needed), or a YouTube video of the demo. If you run the web player demo, remember to try changing the size of that browser window, so you see how the Pixel-Perfect Dynamic Text adapts to the new resolution.
There’s also a “Lorem Ipsum”-demo version, which lets you try the asset freely inside Unity. But it generates the text mesh using characters from the well known text instead of your string.
Here are also some other assets to check out:
