Hello everyone, I am using a dynamic font, but Best Fit is not checked and pixel perfect is unchecked as well. When my character 1st shoots an enemy combat text gets displayed and there is a HUGE lag spike. Any idea how to remedy this performance problem?

Check out these solutions. Some of them are:

  • Use static font.
  • Set Rendering Type to OS Default
  • Uncheck ‘Incl. Font Data’ on the font file
  • Write this in Update():
  • string fontGlyphsString = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!@#$%^&*()-_+=~`[]{}|\\:;\"'<>,.?/ ";
    font.RequestCharactersInTexture(fontGlyphsString);
