Problems Importing Fonts

Hey Guys, I am quite new to unity, and was following a tutorial series quite happily until I hit a snag importing some fonts. I know that they all have to be TTF and mine are, however whenever I import a font into my assets, the material it creates is completely blank, this is true for every font I import.

Has anyone experienced/solved this problem.

Thanks

Steve
Here’s a sample of what I am talking about.

Yeah I’ve had terrible trouble with fonts in Unity. Here’s what I do, drop the new font into Unity, create a new material, make it a GUI text shader, then expand the arrow next to your font and drag it’s texture image onto the materials font texture.

-EDIT- Forgot to mention, this method is for 3d text, you then apply this new material to your 3d font
