UI Builder - Font Issue

Unity Engine
,
1

Hello everyone,

I am currently using the UI builder with Unity 2021.2.0b7 to design a UI, and I want to use different fonts. I have tried to use a different font for my buttons and text labels, but for some reason, the text doesn’t show the new font, it still shows the default font and doesn’t change.

I’ve tried searching online for solutions to my problem, but I just can’t seem to find anything helpful to assist me with fixing the problem.

I have attached some images to the thread to show you what I mean.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I eventually was able to fix this, it turns out the “Font Asset” was set and it was overriding whatever font I selected in the font dropdown. Just letting you all know just in case someone else bumps in to the same issue! :slight_smile:

@OutstandingGames , indeed FontAssets have precedence over Fonts. In other words, If a FontAsset is defined, it will override the Font.

We’ll work on making this more evident in the UI Builder, thanks for bringing this up!

@TigrisQuasar , can you set the FontAsset to None in the UI Builder ?

Unfortunately, this is still an issue in Unity 2021.2.13f1.
Despite Font Asset being set to None, I can’t set the font for text element:

Using a FontAsset instead should fix the issue. To create a FontAsset, right-click on your Font, Create/Text/Font Asset.

Thank you for your answer, but isn’t this a bug and should be fixed?

Hi @tecbug ! We are tracking the issue internally, but it would indeed be helpful if you could log a bug through the unity bug reporter (Help/Report a bug…). This would help with visibility and to backport the fix to previous versions.

Thanks again for bringing this up!

This seems to still be an issue in version 2021.3.16 :frowning:

Hi @curbol ! Unfortunately, we don’t have a bug logged for this issue. If this issue is important to you, here’s how to report a bug.

I would recommend converting your Font to FontAsset for your UI. This is more performant as Fonts are being converted to FontAsset by our system in the background and they also provide more customizability. For more information on FontAssets, have a look at this documentation:

Still a thing until this day…
