I’ve never worked with Android, but here’s something I wrote about iOS the other day:

To change the size of a font, you need to change it in the True Type Font Importer. This can be done by left-clicking on a font in your project view. My fonts are in the Standard Assets folder.

If you want to use fonts with different sizes in iOS, you need to import the same font multiple times. This can be done with the following steps:

  • find the .ttf file for some font in the Finder or Explorer
  • make a copy of the .ttf file and rename it something cool
  • find your new font in Unity (for me they’re found at Project → Standard Assets → Fonts)
  • use your new font by dragging it onto a GUIStyle

Do NOT attempt to change the font size in the GUIStyle. This only works for dynamic fonts, which are not supported in iOS.

You also have to make sure that you have NOT chosen Dynamic as the character setting in the True Type Font Importer. I have always used unicode, but would guess that the ASCII settings might work as well.

First of all, Dynamic fonts are only supported on PC and MAC platforms.
So in order to get fonts to work on Mobile devices you must use Unicode for the Character set.

This is what you need to do.

  • Import a TTF font file in Unity.
  • Set the Character Set to Unicode.
  • All other information is up to you, size, anti-aliasing, etc
  • If you use the font in a GUIText, make sure that the “Font Size” is set to “0” and “Font Style” is set to “Normal”.

Download this and place into your Asset/Resource folder
http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts/a/Antimony%20Funk.ttf

Add Varible public Font fontNormal;
Within OnGui add this:
GUIStyle myStyle = new GUIStyle();
fontNormal = Resources.Load(“Antimony Funk”, typeof(Font)) as Font;
myStyle.font = fontNormal;
myStyle.alignment=TextAnchor.MiddleRight;
GUI.Label(new Rect(Screen.width-95,Screen.height-Screen.height+20,60,60), “iOS”,myStyle);
