TextMesh Pro Ascent Line Fix at Generation

@MeronSuki My apology for missing you posting back in June.

There is no property or setting to override the face metrics of a fallback font asset to match those of the primary.

As you stated, this is normally done manually but now that you bring this up, I could see a use case for this. This new feature would be controlled via a new property in the Extra Settings of a text object where if enabled, it would match the metrics of the primary font asset.

This would be set on a per text object basis as we would not want to alter the face metrics of the fallback font asset as it might be used with more than one text object using different primary font assets.

This is an interesting idea.

 

Included in the TMP Examples & Extras, there is a script called TMP_TextInfoDebugTool.cs which can be added to any text object. I created this tool to enable me to visualize the content of the textInfo and indirectly metrics of any given font asset.

Below is an example of some text in the scene view with Show Characters enabled.


Below is the name of the script and what properties are available on it.
