How can I adjust line spacing for a font?
How can I adjust line spacing for a font? It is greyed out in the Font info
When I use word wrap, the lines are too far apart on most fonts. In 3DS Max, we can adjust both kerning and spacing for whatever font we choose.
Is there a way to do it in Unity or did they just show the parameters and grey them out to torture us?
:)
thanks
Did you ever find a solution? I've hit the same restriction on line height, on all GUI elements! No Line Height parameter to set anywhere in the inspector.
You need to use GUIStyles/GUISkins.
http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/GUIStyle-lineHeight.html
GUIStyles have support for custom line heights.
Read about GUI Styles here:
http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Components/class-GUIStyle.html
It shouldn't be read-only when you set the GUI Style via the Inspector (using a GUI skin).
But it is, I just tried it. - Still: If I'm wrong feel free to correct me. I myself find it pretty strange that we are not able to change informations like kerning and line spacing even though a font actually seems to support it in a way.
In case you are looking for a general solution: the add on Text$$anonymous$$esh pro does expose this per font directly in the Unity UI, and also expose line (and character & paragraph spacing) per objects.
The kerning value you see grayed out is only for use by custom fonts. You can't really control the auto-imported Unity ones very well.
You can change the spacing or the kerning if you create a editable copy of the font, you just have to click in the font (in the Assets panel), go to the gear icon of the Inspector panel and click "Create Editable Copy". The new copy on the Assets panel has a parameter called "Line Spacing" that you can modify at will.
