Unity Engine

I’m upgrading my projects from Unity2019 to 2020. I was using TMP v2.2.0pre3 in Unity 2019. After upgrade to Unity2020 and TMP v3.2.0pre3, text rendering breaks.

Following text is rendered with the sample “LiberationSans SDF” font. The shader is set to “TextmeshPro/Distance Field”.

After changing the shader to “TextmeshPro/Mobile/Distance Field”, it becomes this. Please note the blurry underline.

I’ve tried different font point size and shader settings. None of them works.

Unity 2020.3.37
TextmeshPro v3.2.0-pre.3

I solved this problem by reimporting the essential resources.

It would be better if TMP could prompt an upgrade guide.

There is an “Upgrade Note” in the package description to inform users of the need to update the TMP Essential Resources and well as TMP Examples & Extras but this note is too easily overlooked as adding such notes in the package description is not ideal in the first place.

I did suggest to the package manager team to add some mechanism to allow package publishers to popup some Update Notice window that would enable us to provide this type of important information.
