Unity tool to convert Bitmap Font to Text Mesh Pro asset

Install

Remember to have TextMeshPro imported into your project. Download and import all files into your Unity project.

Usage

1. Create a dummy TMPro font asset

In Unity, go to Windows\TextMeshPro\Font Asset Creator. Fill in these settings as below

Source font file: choose a true type font that has all your characters in bitmap font. For example Lato, Arial...

Sampling font file: look at your bitmap font description file (.fnt or .txt), it is the size="" part. It you don't know it just leave it there and the script will patch it automatically.

Padding: 1 because we don't want to miss any characters in the atlas

Packing Method: Fast (If TMPro can not pack all the characters but your bitmap font can then choose "Optimum")

Atlas Resolution: Look at your bitmap font texture and fill in.

Character Set: Custom Character, fill in your Custom Character List all the characters appeared in your bitmap font

Render Mode: RASTER

Press Generate Font Atlas and Save as... to your desired font name.

2. Patch this dummy font by your bitmap font

Goto Windows\Bitmap Font Converter

Drag your bitmap font texture to Font Texture field

Drag your text file or fnt file to Source Font File field

Drag your dummy TMPro font asset that you have just created in step 1 to Destination Font File field.

Press Convert . Now your dummy font is your bitmap font.
