Change TextMesh Pro material preset on localizatio

Hi,

If you set a material as the secondary Term with a reference to the material, it will load automatically the font matching that material.

However, there was an issue where the font HAD to be only in the root of the Resources folder, otherwise it wont find it.
I changed that so that it will look for it in the same folder than the material.

You can download that change from the beta folder v2.6.11 a5. I also modified the TextMeshPro example scene to have one of the labels having FONTS in the secondary term, and another label using MATERIALS.

Hope that helps,
Frank

Hi,
Thanks for sending me the video showing your setup!!

The problem is that in previous versions of TextMeshPro, the fonts were forced to end in " SDF", and all the submaterials needed to have the format: "XXX SDF - name"   (e.g. font: "Arial SDF" material: "Arial SDF - Outline).

That was the only way that worked for the submaterials to be recognized in the TextMeshPro popup. But that restriction seems that is not longer needed.
I'm going to modify the code to account for that.

In the meantime, if you need to get it working, just add the " SDF" to the end of your font, and to the middle of you material:

e.g.
Font: "Bangers-Regular 145p SDF"
material: "Bangers-Regular 145p SDF - Outline Underlay"

Hope that helps,

Hi,
I modified the code to detect any fontasset, even if it doesn't end in " SDF".
If you downloaded 2.6.11b3, it should work as expected.

Hope that helps,
