How do I make a font with both regular and capital letters? I haven’t found how to do this yet.

And on a related note, is updated (as in “easier”) characterset handling planned for an upcoming release of Unity.

It would be great if we could just have Unity turn any font installed on the system into a fontmap, automatically.

It is planned, yes.

Lowercase ‘a’ must be 32 places after the uppercase ‘A’ (or 7 places after uppercase ‘Z’). The 6 characters between uppercase ‘Z’ and ‘a’ are [ (left bracket), \ (backslash), ] (right bracket), ^ (carret), _ (underscore) and ` (backtick)

I think you could layout your font like this:

   ! " # $ %  ' ( )
 * + , - . / 0 1 2 3
 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < =
 > ? @ A B C D E F G
 H I J K L M N O P Q
 R S T U V W X Y Z [
 \ ] ^ _ ` a b c d e
 f g h i j k l m n o
 p q r s t u v w x y
 z { | } ~

… or you could have a 16x16 layout and export the entire 256 entries iso8859-1 table:

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
   ! " # $ %  ' ( ) * + , - . /
 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ?
 @ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
 P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [ \ ] ^ _
 ` a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o
 p q r s t u v w x y z { | } ~ 
 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
 . ¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ © ª « ¬ ­ ® ¯
 ° ± ² ³ ´ µ ¶ · ¸ ¹ º » ¼ ½ ¾ ¿
 À Á Â Ã Ä Å Æ Ç È É Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï

 à á â ã ä å æ ç è é ê ë ì í î ï
