Which editor version are you using?

3

Do you get any errors / warning in the console in Unity?

It might be a known issue in 2022 where builtin fonts dont export - not sure if this is the case

5

2022.2.1f1 that is, I will try a different font then!

Confirmed a custom font exports, just tried Arial

Yeah I believe the one that doesn’t work is called “LegacyRuntime”. Looks like that’s embedded in Unity in a new / different way than other internal resources…

This is 2022.2 related I think, not dependant on a specific Needle Engine version @ROBYER1

I noticed that the “Text” that works is only available under a “Legacy” menu and was going to suggest that you add minimal support for TextMeshPro - only in case the Legacy text gets removed sometime

Yes, at some point we will! I don’t think “legacy” is going to be removed for at least the 2022.3 cycle and probably also not 2023.x, but still, people are gonna run into this.
