Question by KnightOfGames · Sep 21, 2015 at 05:38 AM · guitextguitext

Cannot see Text

I have a very peculiar problem.

I cannot see text in any Unity game I play. I'm not making games with Unity, but this is the closest place I could get to that has help with Unity. It seems to only happen with default font text, as a lot of custom font text works just fine.

Examples: alt text

wow look at all of yandere simulator's gui

alt text dang i sure do love this text in sonic dreams collection

Again, I have no part in making these games. I am just the person on the other end trying to experience them. If anybody could help me on this odd problem, that'd be great.

At least don't remove this post. This stuff doesn't seem so annoying at first, but then you realize that yes, this happens on every Unity game I play.

tl:dr version - can't see text, help pls, see screenies

The default font for Unity is Arial, and it'd be hard to believe that for some reason, you don't have Arial installed, and even in that case, the font would most likely be compiled with the game. The only thought I could have would be to make sure you have the Arial font under

C:\Windows\Fonts\
