Find and load all TextMeshProUGUI / TMP_FontAsset into list issue

// Unity UI Font work fine
string[] getGuids = UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.FindAssets("t:Font");
foreach (string guid in getGuids)
{
Debug.Log("label lookup: " + UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(guid));
string name = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension( UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(guid) );
Font font = new Font(name);
fontList.Add(font);
}

// Unity TMP_FontAsset does NOT work, or not sure how to get into ctor TMP_FontAsset
string[] getGuids2 = UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.FindAssets("t:TMP_FontAsset");
foreach (string guid in getGuids2)
{
string path = UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(guid));
Debug.Log("label lookup: " + path;
string name = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(guid));
TMP_FontAsset font = new TMP_FontAsset(); // No parameter possible to add, like in new Font(name);
// What do to here, to load/assign FontAsset? Any ideas?

tmpFontAssetList.Add(font);
}
// Thanks!!!

 

The following line of code should work fine.

Code (csharp):

1. string[] fontAssets = UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.FindAssets("t:TMP_FontAsset");

Do you have any TMP_FontAssets in the project?

When you type this in the Project Search toolbar do any TMP_FontAsset get listed?

 

Yes that part works. I am not sure now to assign the proper TMP_FontAsset to the list.

string name = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(UnityEditor.AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(guid));
TMP_FontAsset font = new TMP_FontAsset(); // No parameter possible to add, like in new Font(name);
// What do to here, to load/assign FontAsset? Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

Font Assets are resources and as such must be located in a Resources folder in the sub folder defined in the TMP Settings files.

In terms of assigning a new font asset to a text object, take a look at some of the example scripts like "TMP_ExampleScript_01.cs" included with TextMesh Pro.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. // Load a new font asset and assign it to the text object.
3. m_text.font = Resources.Load<TMP_FontAsset>("Fonts & Materials/Anton SDF");
4.  
5. // Load a new material preset which was created with the context menu duplicate.
6. m_text.fontSharedMaterial = Resources.Load<Material>("Fonts & Materials/Anton SDF - Drop Shadow");
