GUIText doesnt show after changing font

So i have 6 gui texts on one script and whenever i change any of their fonts to my custom font the gui text no longer appears. I have another script that has one gui text and i switched the font using the same method and that one works as expected. Not sure what the problem is exactly, if it makes a difference im on 3.4, heres my code

 //**Doesnt Work**\\
 
 for(var i:int=0;i<gTexts.length;i++)
 {
     var go=new GameObject("CounterText"+i);
     var tex=go.AddComponent(GUIText);
 
     tex.transform.position=positions[i];
     tex.text="Message";
     tex.font=font;
     
     Debug.Log(tex.font); //Output:  ' MyFont (UnityEngine.Font) '
     gTexts[i]=tex;
 }

 //**  Works  **\\
 
 var ngo=new GameObject("Frames Per Second");
 gText=ngo.AddComponent(GUIText);

 gText.transform.position=position;
 gText.text="00.00";
 gText.font=font;
 

Please help, thanks!
