Overview

Settings

• Test phrase: the sentence used to display fonts after downloading
• Fonts root folder: where the folders with the downloaded fonts should be located (based on the Assets folder (ie: by default Assets/Fonts))
• TMP_FontAsset prefix: characters that should always be added before the name of the TMP_FontAsset.
• TMP_FontAsset suffix: characters that should always be added after the name of the TMP_FontAsset.
• Download 'static' folder: Variables fonts come with a .ttf file that can be varied (on supporting software). To my knowledge, TextMesh Pro doesn't support that. Beside these variable fonts, a 'static' folder is provided with more .ttf files, detailing all possible combinasions of font weights and styles. Unticking that will make it download less
• 'UI Toolkit' font assets: Unity's new UI system is UI Toolkit. Ticking this checkbox will also create FontAsset for each downloaded fonts, and these can be used with this new UI system.
• Open folder after download: Ticking this will open the font's parent folder in your file explorer after download.
