# SystemFontLocalization
Auto generate fallback font asset by system font in runtime.

![SystemFont](https://github.com/eviltwo/SystemFontLocalization/assets/7721151/8e203dbf-ea21-445d-a4d9-b8484028bf6d)

Verified working on: Unity 2022.3.39, Unity 6

# Dependency
When you import SystemFontLocalization with UPM, these packages are automatically imported.
- Text Mesh Pro `com.unity.textmeshpro 3.2.0-pre.6`
- Required 3.2.0-pre.6 for function `TMP_FontAsset.CreateFontAsset(fontPath)`
- Since Unity 6 includes an appropriate version of TMP, manual import is not necessary.
- Localization `com.unity.localization`

# Install with UPM
```
https://github.com/eviltwo/SystemFontLocalization.git?path=src/SystemFontLocalization/Assets/SystemFontLocalization
```

# Getting started
- Localize the text using the [Localization package](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/[email protected]).
- Create empty GameObject and attach SystemFontReplacer component to it.
- Set font asset and font name list in SystemFontReplacer component.
- When you play the game, the font assets will be swapped to match the localization language.

# Recommend settings
- Use static fonts. Dynamic fonts cause diffs on git every time you build.
- Set the default language to "en".
- Set the base font asset to "Static".
- Generate a Font atlas with the character set set to "ASCII".
- Disable "kern" in text. Prevents the problem of Cyrillic characters being line breaks.
- Setup default TextMeshPro settings in ProjectSettings.
