Freeze when generating Chinese

Trying to add Chinese

So I copied all those in, pressed Generate Font Atlas, just sits there forever



Not sure if this was asked elsewhere, Unity's forums search feature sucks.

 

I just quickly tried to generate a font asset using the above range and it does indeed seem like there might be an issue with the packing.

Since it is already 3:00 AM for me, I will be going to sleep but I will take a closer look at this tomorrow and follow up as soon as I have more information.

Out of curiosity, any reason you are looking to use a static font asset the contains all these characters vs. a static font asset that only contains the known characters used in the project combined with a dynamic font asset to handle whatever other characters that might be coming from user input at runtime?

 

I let the generation process do its thing last night and although it took 2,783 seconds to figure out the packing.





Packing is an iterative process and given the range of characters you specified includes 81520 characters, it takes a long time to short out.

My recommendation as per my previous post is to use a combination of static and dynamic font assets.

 

Hey thanks for looking into this, I really appreciate it!

Re: Known characters and dynamic font assets, I was testing that I can display Chinese before I hired the translation company. I'll try your suggestion, thanks again.
