Importing True Type Font from external source at runtime

Is it possible to import a TTF file into Unity at runtime? Can we load the font with WWW just like images and audio files?

 

have you tried using the resources class? from the unity scripting reference? like Resources.Load? that means that you need a folder called Resources too in your unity project by the way

 

Yes, but I'm talking about external source. As in, the game is already compile to .exe or .app. Is there anyway we can import or load a font file when our game is in that state? Maybe from a Font folder sitting next to the executable. For textures and audios, there's WWW class that allow you to do that.

Maybe I should try WWW class with font file and see the result. Though if anybody has tried this, it would be nice to hear the experience!

 

Hey Man,

Did you ever find a solution to this?
Im having the same issue.

 

You can distribute fonts via an asset bundle, if that will do for you. Otherwise, no, Unity can't out-of-the-box prepare a True Type font file at runtime for use in e.g. UGUI.
