TextMesh displaying blocks

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I have a standard TTF font file and the code below to manipulate text, at the moment I only see bocks instead of text in the color of the renderer.

Any help would be much appreciated, what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance,
Sid

		GameObject textObj = new GameObject("Text");

		textObj.AddComponent(typeof(TextMesh) );
		textObj.AddComponent(typeof(MeshRenderer));

		MeshRenderer meshRen = (MeshRenderer) textObj.GetComponent(typeof(MeshRenderer));
		TextMesh textMesh = (TextMesh) textObj.GetComponent(typeof(TextMesh));
		
		Material myMaterial = (Material) Resources.Load ("labelMaterial");
		meshRen.material = myMaterial;
		
		Font myFont = (Font) Resources.Load("Courier New");
		//myFont.material = myMaterial;
		textMesh.font = myFont;
		
		
		textMesh.text = "HELLO WORLD";

It sounds like you have the wrong material. Are you using the correct ttf material and is it set to a text shader?
