Making text not look like garbage

You could try the TextGenerator class which lets you write a custom renderer for your generated text.https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/TextGenerator.html I used it and generated a text just to test it, but you should take a deeper look into it. $$anonymous$$aybe it helps :)

1. Please don't swear. It's unnecessary, unprofessional, and makes it less likely for people to want to help you.

2. It's unclear from your description and screenshot exactly what sort of "text" you're trying to achieve - most of the solutions that people have suggested are about 3d text meshes - i.e. actual geometries in the scene that you can collide with, cast shadows etc. - is that what you want? Or do you just want text for a UI? If so, do you need that UI text to be positioned in world space in the scene (i.e. like a name/health bar above the player) or do you need it to be in static camera space (like a menu)? What approach have you tried already to create the screenshot with which you're obviously unhappy?

FWIW, i agree with you that the text system in Unity is either bugged or broken by design.
