Nope. It isn't possible. That is actually Unity's one great weakness, text… ;)

But seriously, I am not sure what you are asking. Are you asking how to get the image into the game or how to write text to the screen? Both?

Sorry for my english. I want to make an app which takes pictures then the same picture u took will be edited by adding only text on the image. and that text should be resized.

Are you wanting to embed the text in the actual image pixels or just overlay text on top of the image?
