Font Bold problem on Unity 4

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I just convert my 3.5 project on Unity 4 project.

Everything works fine expect one thing : The Font. I see that the font import system has changed, and nice changed. But my font on Unity 4 got a completely différent render than on Unity 3.5

First time, i thought it was because of the “Smooth” system. But i try every filters (OS Default, etc…) and got the same render. I think i found the problem : Bold is very badly supported.

If i put my font on “Normal”, then the render is the same on 3.5 than on 4. But if i turn a font in Bold, then, on Unity 3.5 it looks fine, on Unity 4 it’s look like every letters are stuck each others.
When you turn bold on on Unity 4, the letters are … bolded yes but not the space between letters. And it make the text just unreadable.

Anyone got this issue ? I try with arial and it seems that this font dont get this problem, put my two personnal font (Neuropol X and Zekton on dafont.com) have it.

Thanks a lot.

I have the same problem since Unity 4.0

I just downloaded the bold font and used that one (so now a font for normal and one for bold). Works like a charm.
