Component:FontChain

Font Chain component as seen in the Scene Inspector

The FontChain component provides an easy way to use "Fallback" fonts for a main font, usually in the event that the main font does not contain certain Unicode characters. Any place where a StaticFont can be used, a FontChain can be used.

Usage

Fields Collapse

Name	Type	Description
persistent	Bool	Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server.
UpdateOrder	Int	Controls the order in which this component is updated.
Enabled	Bool	Controls whether or not this component is enabled. Some components stop their functionality when this field is disabled, but some don't.
HighPriorityIntegration	Bool	If true, integrating this asset (e.g. processing procedural assets) gets higher priority than assets with this flag off. An example is user laser procedural meshes.
MainFont	Font	The main font to use.
FallbackFonts	list of Font	The fallback fonts to use.

Behavior

The MainFont defines which font will be primarily used for the text. For any characters of a text that do not exist in the main font, all the FallbackFonts will be searched through, in order, to find a matching character. Only if all fallback fonts do not contain the character will a "true fallback" of a box will appear.
