Text Mesh Pro - The Ultimate Text Solution for Unity - Powerful & Flexible - Advanced Text Rendering

Thanks,
I will check as soon as I get home. !!

 

@Stephan_B ,
Hi, So I built out the program with AutoGraphics, API. I swapped out to OpenGL2, and OpenGL3. Neither produced a positive result. Each produced the same error in Xcode, as before.

WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'TextMeshPro/Mobile/Distance Field' - Pass '' has no vertex shader

ERROR: Shader Shader is not supported on this GPU (none of subshaders/fallbacks are suitable)WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'TextMeshPro/Mobile/Distance Field' - Setting to default shader.

Puzzled.

 

Thank you for the help. I did every thing said and still having the same problem.

 

It seems like only the letters in the center of screen are effected. I sent a P.M with the a link to the Repro project.

 

Ok, I am installing Unity 2017.1.0f3......
For Components, I am selecting.....
Standard Assets, Android Build Support, iOS Build Support, tvOS, Build Support, Linux Build Support.

I will test then let you know.

Thank you.

I think setting PerspectiveFiltering at zero fixed it! Thank you so much!

Edit: Scratch that, even with PerspectiveFiltering set to zero it broke again, But I found out what did fix it for me. I set the Game window from 16.9 to Free Aspect and that fixed it

 

@Stephan_B Thank you for your help.

The update in Unity, to 2017.1 has worked!

 

Hi!! this tool is awesome. But I get this error when my mouse goes from any window to the "Scene" window:

MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'UnityEditor.MaterialEditor.BeginAnimatedCheck'.

UnityEngine.GUIUtilityrocessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

I have Unity 2017.1.03f
What Could it be??

 

Woops, I'll answer myself: after browsing over the internet I found that there is an updated version of TextMesh Pro that fixes this error

 

Could I score that link or package Dryn27? I just pulled TMP down from the asset store into 2017.2.0b2 and my event log is getting spammed with that and other errors.

Also can TMP support emissive materials?

A.

 

Ok, so the version on the asset store throws the BeginAnimatedCheck errors. When I downloaded the latest version here:
https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/textmesh-pro-now-available-from-unity.458634/#post-3104651

I get this error on initializing the package....
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

... but not when I opened up TMP into a 'clean' project.

And these two error's on any attempt to do anything TMP on both clean and working project.

Using 2017.0.0b2, tried with both the normal and new .NET profiles.

 

Thanks for that. I'll hang out for it. Also for emissive text is that the glow settings? I have an odd case where I need some text to be visible with effectively no light in the scene.

 

Hi, I followed the link to the patch, now I am confused in that, gone seems to be the TextMesh Pro component. Instead we have the Text Mesh Pro Floating Text, which has no variable for the Custom TextMeshPro font, nor a variable for text as a string. !!!

What I do have is the ability to create a "Text Mesh Pro - Input Field". This has sub objects (children), which one is a Text Mesh Pro UGUI. However, the variable in the Inspector, Font Asset, can not hold the Custom Fonts, I have created. As such, any text I write is unseen.

What the hell is going on!??


So randomly, as of now, my project is at an absolute stand still.

 

Hi,
It seems to be working again (via TMP, from Google Drive link), but I need to recreate any TMP unit in my scene, as the ones that were there before, while now do have the proper component again, are not rendering the text that it should.

I have left in below my original repsonse, so you can see the entire process that I went thru with this issue. Quite an odd one and not of the standard I would expect from Unity.


Having said that, I hope it gets cleared up soon, so no gltiches can occur.
Best,
Ren




--Original Post: My Process---
Hi,
So, I updated Unity to 2017, yesterday. There was no issue regarding TextMesh Pro at that time. Today, I needed to edit some TextMeshPro units. It was at this time I noticed the error, occurring in the console....... At time, of select one unit, in the Hierarchy, the common error, we have seen occurred...

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
TMPro.TMP_Settings.get_defaultFontAsset () (at <454f2973f89348aa975b66532b873929>:0)
TMPro.TextMeshPro.LoadFontAsset () (at <454f2973f89348aa975b66532b873929>:0)
TMPro.TextMeshPrnValidate () (at <454f2973f89348aa975b66532b873929>:0)


... that said, Google showed the solution as to downloading a version of TextMesh Pro from a Google Drive. Which I did dowload and import (* I did not delete the current TMP (from Asset Store (Free))). At that point, once going back into the project, any previous TextMeshPro unit, was now occupied by different components. I can't recall the name, but I think it was "Nothing Text".

At this time, I read your reply and simply deleted all TextMesh Pro, from the Project folder. I reimported, the TextMeshPro (from the Google Drive link). At this time, the TextMeshPro component, had now returned, to all units in the scene that has a TMP component prior. However, the text, from the text field was not being rendered in scene.

As such, I simply created a TMP from scratch and it seems to be working.

 

Ok,
As I say, I suppose the only error on my end then was the not deleting the existing TMP before importing the new.

I may have to fiddle each of the dozen or so TMP elements that I have, but that's about it.


So, just for the future, when I reimport from the store, an asset, I have never had any issue. Is it a different beast via the asset package importer?

 

Nice one!
And thanks.

 

Hi

I am experiencing some shader errors when TextMesh Pro is in "Plugins" folder in my project. I am using TextMeshPro-1.0.55.2017.1.0b11 with Unity 2017.1. Any possible fixes?

Code (csharp):

1. Shader error in 'TextMeshPro/Distance Field': failed to open source file: 'TMPro_Properties.cginc' at line 126 (on d3d11)
2.  
3. Compiling Vertex program with UNDERLAY_ON
4. Platform defines: UNITY_ENABLE_REFLECTION_BUFFERS UNITY_USE_DITHER_MASK_FOR_ALPHABLENDED_SHADOWS UNITY_PBS_USE_BRDF1 UNITY_SPECCUBE_BOX_PROJECTION UNITY_SPECCUBE_BLENDING UNITY_ENABLE_DETAIL_NORMALMAP SHADER_API_DESKTOP UNITY_COLORSPACE_GAMMA UNITY_LIGHT_PROBE_PROXY_VOLUME

 

Indeed, re-import of the "Resources\Shaders" folder seems to resolve the problem, thanks!

 

After 2017.1 update TextMeshPro causes Unity crash upon doing a windows build every time. Even if the asset is just loaded in assets and not even used in scene. I also do not have the examples folder loaded. Right not it is completely unusable and I had to remove it from the project. Here is some info.

Why the hard binding with the Unity version? From 5.6 to 2017 I can understand but from 2017.1 to 2017.2?
Are there breaking changes?

Whatever is going I'm seeing the "Method not found: 'UnityEngine.Mesh.Clear'" error out of ProCore(Builder) tooling as well, so it looks like they have the same issue. :-(

 

Is it possible to add keyframes and animate "Dilate" on face settings?

 

Hello i have been having trouble trying to get TextMeshPro working today, this is my first time using the asset and it was downloaded and imported today for the first time.

My unity version is 2017.1.0f3
TextMeshPro version is 1.0.55.0b11 (as listed on my asset store download page)

Does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this issue? it seems to be related to the shader adjustments in the inspector (the error is spammed in console when that is open)

edit: i have done a reinstall of Unity and TMP both today to be sure, with the same resulting error

 

This product is so great!

However, I'm missing one thing: Is it possible to increase the glyph mesh vertex resolution?


Because I am doing 3D mesh deformation on the text component, I'd like to increase the number of triangles on the individual glyph planes, so that I can bend large text to fit onto curved surfaces. For example: Instead of two triangles for the 'm', I'd like to have the glyph rendered onto a 10x10 triangle plane.

Is this already possible? If not, this would be my only feature request.

 

That was indeed the problem, thank you very much, i have been looking forward to using this asset, great work

 

Thank you! Sounds good, I've just tried it and it seems to work well.

 

Hi there,
I have multiple TMP units, my issue is that, anytime I change an outline colour on one, it changes the outline colour on any other, (who has the same material). Do I really have to create a new material for any TMP that I require a different outline colour on?

I know nothing about shaders etc, but a bit disappointing.
Thanks

 

I am trying to extract the dimension of a label so that I can position a separate GameObject taking into account the actual size of the label. I have managed to do with some success, but I am having some issues. I am currently doing this configuring the label as needed, then setting the property "autoSizeTextContainer" to true. Afterwards I use the size of the rectTransform in calculations.

The attached image shows the effect I am trying to get; in this example the title label is shifted out to the left to be further out than the widest label on the ticks.

I have found that the rectTransform does not get re-evaluated as soon as the label's content changes, sometimes it takes a few frames for it to be resized. This results in the positioning of other GameObjects lagging behind by a few updates. Is there anyway to force the size of the text container / rectTransform to be updated in a specific frame, or even just to determine when an update has occurred?

Thanks,

 

I'm seeing an oddity with TMP dropdown menus inside of a masked area. Unity 5.5.0f3 (Mac), TMP 1.0.55.55.0b11.

Repro:
- Create canvas and add two UI panels (or any container GO)
- Add a TMP dropdown into each
- Add a mask on only one of the panels

Results:
- The unmasked menu works as expected
- The masked menu will show the graphics (checkmark, background, and label) but will not display the text for each of the menu items.

 

Like a charm. Thanks Stephan!

 

There seems to be a bug with TMP's InputField on WebGL when running in a broswer. Unity 2017.1.0f3 TMP 1.0.55.55.0b11, Scripting Runtime Version Experimental (.NET 4.6 Equivalent).
Just having an TMP InputField on a canvas throws an exception:

InvalidOperationException: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
> Rethrow as TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Globalization.CharUnicodeInfo' threw an exception.

Removing the TMP InputField prevents the exception. The stable runtime also doesn't seem to throw. Repros fairly easily: create a new project, add a TMP InputField, switch to .NET 4.6 runtime, make a webgl build and run in the browser (I used Edge, not sure if this matters). Probably want to use a development build so you can see the exception in the console.

 

That seems to be the same version I'm already using (1.0.55.0b11)
