    Probably something simple I've missed, but when using UI Builder and adding text, I cannot change fonts. The text displays with the same default font regardless which one I choose. If I try the fonts with the textmesh component, they work fine. Any ideas?

    Hi @UltraRobot !

    In the text area of the UI Builder, you'll see that both a FontAsset and a Font can be set. Note that the default Font is actually a FontAsset and that FontAssets have precedence over Fonts. In other words, as long as you have a FontAsset assigned, changing the Font won't have an impact as it will be overridden by the FontAsset. Setting the FontAsset to None should fix the issue.

    We are aware this is confusion, and we plan to improve the UX to make this more obvious.

    I hope this helps!

    Thanks for the help, but realized I actually had to add and remove a font asset for the font to be used.

    My steps:
    - Add a text label. Font Asset is default None.
    - Try to change Font, nothing happens.
    - Add a Font Asset.
    - Delete the Font Asset setting, defaulting it back to None with a bolder text, (indicating it's overriding some inherited setting?)
    - Changing the regular font will now work.

    I do not have any stylesheets or default settings for a Font Asset as far as I know, and if I do, the default is "None"
