Font Textures are Garbled

Good Evening,

I am currently adding text to accompany a model to appear on one side only and I have performed the actions listed in this tutorial: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=3DText

I imported the Times font (and tried several others) and as per the article, I brought the textures into the material and attached it to the text, but it appears garbled as if it is not aligning properly or is just one color, usually black.

I am successful in getting the text to appear on one side only, but can't get the text right. I have attached an image. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks ,

-K

 

This is the issue I'm trying to discuss here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-fonts-how-to-address-this-bug.375620/

I really don't understand why it happens. Sometimes there are things you can change to fix it (are your fonts set to "dynamic" in the inspector?) but sometimes it seems to just happen at random.
