Fontastic!

Unity editor tool to preview fonts easily!

Installation

• Copy the editor script to your project (into Assets/Editor/ folder) from https://github.com/unitycoder/Fontastic/tree/main/Assets/Editor/UnityLibrary/Fontastic

Usage

• Open the tool from menu: Tools/UnityLibrary/Fontastic
• Select from text item in UI
• Click fetch fonts (defaults to getting locally installed fonts, or you can pick the web fonts radio button)
• Click font name to preview it on your selected UI object
• If its good font, you can press "Copy current font to Assets/Fonts" so it stays in your project
• If you want to restore original font for your selected object, press "Restore original fonts"

Why?

Without this plugin, the process for testing fonts is:

• Go search fonts in the web or locally
• Download the font, unzip it, copy to unity project assets folder
• create textmesh pro font asset for that font
• apply the font to some ui element
• Repeat for each tested font!!

Features

• Preview local fonts easily
• Preview web fonts easily

Notes

• Arrow keys scrolling the fonts list doesnt work properly (selected item is not always visible in the list, so use mouse to scroll)
• Fonts are temporarily added to Assets/Temp/ folder, so clean it up later (you can also press clear temp fonts)

External resources

• Web fonts are taken from https://gwfh.mranftl.com/api/fonts
