A Unity text-rendering system for displaying sharp text in game interfaces and 3D scenes. It supports font assets, styling such as outlines and shadows, rich text formatting, and inline images.

Use it for menu text, subtitles, labels, world-space signs, formatted messages, and text that includes small icons or sprites.

It provides more control and better scaling than Unity’s older text component, especially when text must remain readable at different sizes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00038	$0.02790
Opus 5	$0.00019	$0.01395
Sonnet 5	$0.00008	$0.00558
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00279

Security

Grade A, and why

textmeshpro scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

TextMeshPro — Advanced Text Rendering for Unity

TextMeshPro (TMP) is Unity's standard text solution, replacing the legacy Text component. It uses Signed Distance Field (SDF) rendering for resolution-independent, crisp text with support for rich text, outlines, shadows, and inline sprites.

Component Types

Component	Use Case	Namespace
`TextMeshProUGUI`	Canvas UI text (most common)	`TMPro`
`TextMeshPro`	World-space 3D text (signs, name plates)	`TMPro`

using TMPro;

[SerializeField] private TextMeshProUGUI _uiText;     // Canvas text
[SerializeField] private TextMeshPro _worldText;       // 3D world text

Font Asset Creation

Font assets are created from TTF/OTF font files via the Font Asset Creator window.

Steps

Window > TextMeshPro > Font Asset Creator
Set Source Font File to your TTF/OTF font
Configure settings:
- Sampling Point Size: Auto or specific (e.g., 64)
- Padding: 5-9 (higher = better outlines/shadows but larger atlas)
- Packing Method: Optimum
- Atlas Resolution: 512x512 for small character sets, 2048x2048+ for CJK
- Character Set: ASCII for English, Unicode Range for specific sets, Custom Characters for exact glyphs
- Render Mode: SDFAA (default, best quality)
Click Generate Font Atlas, then Save

SDF Rendering Modes

Mode	Quality	Use Case
SDFAA	Best	Default for most fonts
SDF	Good	Slightly faster rendering
SDFAA_HINTED	Best + hinting	Small text sizes, pixel-perfect
Raster	Bitmap	Pixel art fonts only

Material Presets

Material presets add visual effects (outline, shadow, glow) without modifying the base font asset.

Creating a Material Preset

Select the font asset in Project window
In Inspector, click the material field to see the base material
Right-click the font asset > Create > Material Preset
Adjust properties on the new material:
- Face: Color, softness, dilate
- Outline: Color, thickness
- Underlay (shadow): Color, offset, dilate, softness
- Lighting: Bevel for 3D effect
- Glow: Inner/outer glow
