Unity Global Text System




This package will allow one to select a default global font for Unity UI Text. The Global Font can be selected from a custom editor window. When a new UI Text (even if the Text is a Child, ex: Button) it will have the font that was set by the user, and not the default Arial font.

Getting Started


  • Select a Font that is in your project to be the Global Font.

  • This can be set from "Global Text System/Settings"

  • Now, when a UI Text is added, it will have this font.

    Additional Options

    • Button to Reset global font to default (Arial)
    • Button to Change the font of all UI Text in the scene at once
*Useful if you already have a bunch of Text in a scene, and decide to use a new font*

Add New Text With Your Font:



Select any property to override via the custom editor:
