changing Text font and fonstyles?

Questions & Answers
1

At the moment I have created the following script which creates a button which is great.

if(GUI.Button (new Rect(Screen.width/2 - test_buttonWidth/2 - test_buttonHorizonalSpacing, Screen.height/2 - test_buttonHeight/2 - test_buttonSpacing, test_buttonWidth, test_buttonHeight), “I am bold”))

The problem is how the hell do I manipulate the freaking text within the script.

Anytime I mess with this code to add in anything in the way of GUISTYLE, Font, Fontstyle then mono goes berserk.

I have already made some public variables

such as

font_type and font_style and on “Awake” i can change those values to whatever which is great but it doesn’t interact with the text on the button at all.

Where am I going wrong with this?

I would recommend to put all fonts inside a folder named “Resources” and use Resources function to access them on Runtime.

http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Resources.html

That means for example for Arial you need both italic and bold, you need to have two font files inside the Resources folder.

Arial - italic

Arial - Bold

and then load them to the GUISTyle on runtime.

Hope that helps.
