TextMesh Pro Font units do not work with the <width> rich text tag

From the documentation:

<width>

works fine with pixels and percentages, but it doesn't work for font units.



I would really appreciate some help here. I'm using 2019.4.11f1 with TMP 2.1.3.

 

Some tags like <width> do not support all 3 of the unit types.

I can certainly add em to the <width> tag.

Just to confirm, if the current point size is 50pts then a <width=1em> will equal 50 pixels.

 

Thank you for the response. For my project, em support for <width> would be very useful and I do hope you add it.

I understand that some tags do not support all 3 unit types, but the documentation specifically says that <width> supports them all, which is why I was confused.

 

I added font unit (em) support to the <width> tag.

Do you have a good use case / example of using em to define the width of the text container?

 

Thank you very much, I appreciate it!!

I want to use em for all my rich text tags because it is independent of the canvas scaling and the font size. It means I can change the font size and the text will still look the same just smaller. If I use pixels, then I have to change the rich text tags whenever I change the font size to get a consistent look.

PS: sorry it took me a while to get back to you! Busy week.
