Hello Noesis Team,

I'm encountering an issue related to fonts in my project. While the program functions correctly within the Unity editor, it fails to display the expected font when I build the project and test it on a system lacking that particular font (without prior installation). Interestingly, if I download and install the font on my Windows 11 OS, the program functions as expected due to the system's font availability.

However, when I distribute the build to another PC lacking the font, the program defaults to a different font, such as Arial. I'm puzzled by this behavior and unsure if it's a bug or something else. Could I be overlooking a step or misconfiguring something?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you.

System fonts have that problem. If you are going to use them, we recommend using a fallback list (for example setting FontFamily="Arial,Tahoma" to make sure they are picked in the expected order. By default (in NoesisUnity.cs) we have these global defaults:

if (Noesis.Platform.ID == Noesis.PlatformID.Windows)
{
    fonts.Add("Arial");
    fonts.Add("Segoe UI Emoji");        // Windows 10 Emojis
    fonts.Add("Arial Unicode MS");      // Almost everything (but part of MS Office, not Windows)
    fonts.Add("Microsoft Sans Serif");  // Unicode scripts excluding Asian scripts
    fonts.Add("Microsoft YaHei");       // Chinese
    fonts.Add("Gulim");                 // Korean
    fonts.Add("MS Gothic");             // Japanese
}
else if (Noesis.Platform.ID == Noesis.PlatformID.OSX)
{
    fonts.Add("Arial");
    fonts.Add("Arial Unicode MS");      // MacOS 10.5+
}
else if (Noesis.Platform.ID == Noesis.PlatformID.iPhone)
{
    fonts.Add("PingFang SC");           // Simplified Chinese (iOS 9+)
    fonts.Add("Apple SD Gothic Neo");   // Korean (iOS 7+)
    fonts.Add("Hiragino Sans");         // Japanese (iOS 9+)
}
else if (Noesis.Platform.ID == Noesis.PlatformID.Android)
{
    fonts.Add("Noto Sans CJK SC");      // Simplified Chinese
    fonts.Add("Noto Sans CJK KR");      // Korean
    fonts.Add("Noto Sans CJK JP");      // Japanese
}
else if (Noesis.Platform.ID == Noesis.PlatformID.Linux)
{
    fonts.Add("Noto Sans CJK SC");      // Simplified Chinese
    fonts.Add("Noto Sans CJK KR");      // Korean
    fonts.Add("Noto Sans CJK JP");      // Japanese
}

But if possible, we always recommend embedding the font in the project.

Thanks a lot. I saw the problem and fixed it. :)
