Hello guys, I have a strange behaviour with text renderer. I made some builds this week and this happens on android and sometimes on ios

Can you try deleting the generated font asset in the assets directory in your web project?

And then re-export from unity

it is strange, as it started to happen only on this font (we also use arial somewhere) and just about one or two weeks ago

You mean when it gets re-generated it is again messed up?

9

Can you share the font + the generated msdf file+json (the ones in the assets directory) ?

these are the font + generated files

any updates? i tried to figure it out. the bug seems to happen only in production build. i tried to delete the dist folder in order to regenerate that files, but i have permission issues. is it blocked from needle?

It is used most likely by the server, so first you have to stop it.

Or alternativly, just find the console window and kill it.

Alternatively, you can use utilities like Power Toys (from microsoft) if you are on windows to see who exactly is using the given file / folder.
