The Text and Character properties

The Text property changes the text that will be displayed. Whatever is typed within this box will be displayed within the text object.

Below the Text property are a group of Character properties. These properties allow you to change the properties of the individual characters within the Text property's field.

The Font property determines which font is used for the entire block of text. By default, the Font is set to Arial. However, if you happen to not have Arial installed on your computer, it will default the font included within Unity—Liberation Sans. To use any other font, you must import the font into your Asset folder. Refer to the Importing Fonts section to learn how to bring in additional fonts.
