public function HasCharacter(c: char): bool;
public bool HasCharacter(char c);

Parameters

c The character to check for.

Returns

bool Whether or not the font has the character specified.

Description

Does this font have a specific character?

This function checks whether the font has a particular character defined. Some fonts do not have all characters defined (for example, no symbols, or no lower case characters).

	// Detects if the current font of a 3D text
	// supports '-' sign
	private var t : TextMesh;
	function Start() {
		t = transform.GetComponent.<TextMesh>();
		if (t.font.HasCharacter("-"[0])) {
			Debug.Log("Font supports '-' sign.");
		} else {
			Debug.LogWarning("This font doesnt support '-'");
		}
	}
using UnityEngine;

public class FontCheck : MonoBehaviour {

// Detects if the current font of a 3D text // supports '-' sign TextMesh t; void Start() { t = transform.GetComponent<TextMesh>(); if (t.font.HasCharacter('-')) { Debug.Log("Font supports '-' sign."); } else { Debug.LogWarning("This font doesnt support '-'"); } } }
