Free (or hobby affordable) font and same or similar TextMesh Pro font

Unity Engine

Hello,

I started my game (two years ago, since I am creating it in free time) using the now called Legacy / Text.

I now added some TextMeshPro components (with minor animation) and I like it.
The game is 90% finished and I see no reason in replacing all Legacy Text with TextMeshPro now.

But my Legacy Text has a future / scify style and lokks very differnt from the included TextMeshPro fonts / materials.

Is the TextMEshPro as performant / fast as the Legacy text?

But most important: Can I get a free or affordable similar font for both so I can use both features?
Should be easy to read and look a bit futuristic / scify …

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

There is no such thing as TextMeshPro specific fonts. Both the legacy text and TextMeshPro components can use common font file formats like ttf and otf, which are also used by many other software. You might want to read some textmesh pro tutorials for how to setup a new font.
