How to set the font size in GUI.Label
Hey guys,
I was just wondering, I have created a GUI Label, but I was wondering, how do you change the font size????
Here is my code:
var font : Font;
function OnGUI () {
GUI.skin.label.font = font;
GUI.Label (Rect (650, 650, 300, 50), "MY TEXT");
}
Thanks

Pass a GUIStyle into the function and set the font size inside the GUIStyle.
http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/GUIStyle.html
so your new code would be
var style : GUIStyle;
function OnGUI()
{
GUI.Label(Rect(650, 650, 300, 50), "HELLO WORLD", style);
}
The 3d platformer tutorial has a section on GUIStyles at page 58

As someone who is new, it would be really useful if you, or someone else, could mention how to accomplish this purely through code. I would prefer not to always specify these things from the editor.
@graham_branch First you want to create a GUIStyle variable. Then you will want to change the fontSize of that variable. For C#, it might look something like this:
private GUIStyle guiStyle = new GUIStyle(); //create a new variable
private void OnGUI ()
{
guiStyle.fontSize = 20; //change the font size
GUILayout.Label("Write your text here.", guiStyle);
}
Thanks Steven, instantiating the style was what I was struggling to figure out, though I did figure it out eventually.
Does this not work for Android?
You probably need to multiply with dpi as fontSize is in pixels
