TextMesh displaying blocks

Hi,

I have a standard TTF font file and the code below to manipulate text, at the moment I only see bocks instead of text in the color of the renderer.

Any help would be much appreciated, what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance,
Sid

Code (csharp):

1.         GameObject textObj = new GameObject("Text");
2.  
3.         textObj.AddComponent(typeof(TextMesh) );
4.         textObj.AddComponent(typeof(MeshRenderer));
5.  
6.         MeshRenderer meshRen = (MeshRenderer) textObj.GetComponent(typeof(MeshRenderer));
7.         TextMesh textMesh = (TextMesh) textObj.GetComponent(typeof(TextMesh));
8.        
9.         Material myMaterial = (Material) Resources.Load ("labelMaterial");
10.         meshRen.material = myMaterial;
11.        
12.         Font myFont = (Font) Resources.Load("Courier New");
13.         //myFont.material = myMaterial;
14.         textMesh.font = myFont;
15.        
16.        
17.         textMesh.text = "HELLO WORLD";

 

It sounds like you have the wrong material. Are you using the correct ttf material and is it set to a text shader?
