Loading/creating TMP_FontAsset at runtime from StreamingAssets

Hi,

I'm trying to add community based localization to narrative games from a client. In many cases users would need to add nice fonts that match the style of the game.

Is it possible to load new fonts at runtime from StreamingAssets?

I see that there is constructor for TMP_FontAsset that takes a Unity.Font but I didn't see any way of loading a Unity.Font at runtime, except from the OS installed fonts, which is quite limited and doesn't really allow for pretty fonts.

Best,

 

Well, it ended up braindead easy. While it is documented that the UnityEngine.Font constructor takes the name of an OS installed font, reading the source on github actually shows that it can be a path too! (line 312)
