TextMesh Pro Multi fonts still supported?

Are multi fonts in same text field still supported? If so, is there anything else that needs to be done other than having the SDF fonts/materials ready and use them in font tags in the text? Because it's not working for me.

 

It is indeed still supported.

In order to be able to load resources at runtime, these resources must be placed in a Resources folder and at the location specified in the TMP Settings. The default location for font assets is "Resources/Fonts & Materials/..."

 

This was the missing info, thanks!

 

If I could make a suggestion about the naming convention ...

Would it OK to change the "Resources/Fonts & Materials" folder name to "Resources/SDF" in a future version instead?
The rationale is that "Fonts & Materials" is rather ambiguous a I assume that the path set in the TMPro settings searches trough all folders under resources it finds by the set name. So I could make a folder named "SDF" under my own framework/project resources folder and TMPro picks up additional fonts from its own SDF folder and also from my SDF folder.

 

TextMesh Pro will search for Font Assets and Materials in whatever location you specify in the TMP Settings. If your project contains 4 Resources folder with sub folders matching the same name then it will look through all of those.

"Resources/Fonts & Materials/..." makes it pretty clear what is contained in that folder.

 

Sorry but I disagree. The name isn't very clear, it's ambiguous. "Fonts" could mean any fonts, not only SDF fonts, "Materials" could mean any materials, not just SDF font materials.

The reason why I'm asking for this request is this use case scenario:

Releasing a framework as a Unity asset that uses several dedicated SDF fonts and I don't want users of it having to change the TMPro settings for it and I think a default-named folder for SDF fonts and materials would better be "SDF". That would be very clear to any user.

 

This "Resources/Fonts & Materials" may also contain font assets and materials that are using Bitmap render modes so it should not be specific to SDF.

To be more specific, this folder could be named "Resources/Font Assets & Material Presets" which is exactly what this folder is expected to contain. But since TextMesh Pro is the only tool using "Resources/Fonts & Materials", I feel that making this folder name longer is not necessary.

I understand that if you are making an Asset / tool that you expect to provide via the Asset Store, that unlike normal users who can change this default "Resources/Fonts & Materials" in their TMP Settings, that in your case, you cannot / should not change their TMP Settings and as such have to follow the "Resources/Fonts & Materials" convention in your own package and the Resources folder it may contain.

 

Well OK, it's a minor issue but I can live with the current naming convention. In this case I place all fonts, incl. non-SDF into that folder.
