How To Create Font Assets

You need to create font assets from font files to use them with TextMeshPro. Here are basic instructions for convenience. You can check out the official TextMeshPro documentation to learn more.

Open Window/TextMeshPro/Font Asset Creator window.

FontAssetCreatorWindow

  1. Assign your font in Font Source field (Your font must include your characters)
  2. Set atlas size. For Arabic we recomment 512x512 and for Hebrew 128x128 as a minimum. A larger atlas will have better quality but larger size on disk.
  3. Set Character Set to Unicode Range.
  4. Copy character ranges from files under Assets/RTLTMPro/Ranges folder into Character Sequence (Hex).
    • Arabic letters are in ArabicLetters.txt file
    • Arabic digits are in ArabicDigits.txt file
    • Arabic tashkeel letter are in ArabicTashkeel.txt file.
    • All arabic characters are in ArabicAll.txt. Normally you would use this to create your font asset.
    • Hebrew letters are in HebrewLetters.txt.
  5. Press Generate Font Atlas button and wait for it to generate the atlas.
  6. Press Save TextMeshPro Font Asset and save the font asset.

Usage Description

Farsi

When checked, English numbers will be converted to Farsi numbers. When unchecked, English numbers will be converted to Arabic numbers.

Preserve Numbers

When checked numbers will not be converted.

Force Fix

RTL Text Mesh Pro does not fix texts that start with English characters. Checking this checkbox forces RTL TextMeshPro to fix the text even when it starts with English character. Multiline English texts will have problem on components that have ForceFix checked.

Fix Tags

When checked, RTL Text Mesh Pro will try to fix rich text tags.
