Hi I’m wondering about one thing about ttf fonts. When I import ttf font into project and style it to bold for example, how Unity handles the font transformation?

Thank you for any info.

We use FreeType to render Fonts. If we find a bold version of the font in your project or the OS, we will use that. If there is no bold version, we just supply a transformation matrix to FreeType to stretch the characters a bit.
