[Feature request] BITMAP FONT NATIVE SUPPORT

Currently Unity 5 new GUI is not support bitmap font by default. Bitmap font allow developer create amazing and beautiful effect on text without any noticeable impact on performance.

Suggested:
- Support fnt (or xml) file generated from ShoeBox (or BMFont)
- Allow them to drag and drop to Text in New UI

Read http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-Font.html those are the type of font supported. Its not very likely we'd add support for other types as you can do bitmap fonts in ttf for example.

 

bitmap fonts are 100% possible, I have some on the store if you want to see an example: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/42363
