Zero extra build sizeSDF & MSDF Rendering — curve-based Burst-compiled rasterization. Shared Texture2DArray atlas with adaptive tile sizes and LRU evictionFont Families — CSS §5.2 weight matching, variable font axes (wght, wdth, ital, slnt, opsz), three-tier resolutionEffects — outline and shadow via multi-pass SDF rendering with per-character controlExtensible Markup — 30+ modifier presets, Markdown support, custom parse rules, shared configurations👆 Interactive Text — clickable/hoverable regions with typed events and highlight system🇹🇭 Word Segmentation — dictionary-based word breaking for Thai, Lao, Khmer, Myanmar🌍 UniTextWorld — 3D text without Canvas, full pipeline via MeshRendererZstd Font Compression — ~2.7x smaller builds for Latin/Arabic, ~1.3x for CJK🛠️ Editor UX — style selector with ~30 presets, font family inspector, glyph picker, atlas previewUpcoming:Input Field — full-featured text input with BiDi cursor, selection, and IME supportMath Engine — LaTeX-style math typesettingImportant:• UniText is a standalone text engine built from scratch. It does not depend on or extend TextMeshPro.• Requires Unity 2021 LTS or newer.Technical Features• Full Unicode 17.0 support — passes all 891,757 conformance tests.• HarfBuzz text shaping — the same engine used by Chrome, Firefox, and Android.• Bidirectional text (UAX #9) — correct rendering of mixed LTR/RTL content with numbers and punctuation.• Script support: Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, Thai, Lao, Khmer, Myanmar, CJK, Hangul, and every other Unicode script.• SDF & MSDF rendering from raw Bézier curves via Burst-compiled jobs. No pre-baked atlases.• Global shared Texture2DArray atlas with adaptive tile sizes (64/128/256), shelf-based packing, reference counting, and LRU eviction.• Font Families with CSS §5.2 weight matching. Three-tier resolution: variable font axes → static faces → synthesis.• Variable font support — wght, wdth, ital, slnt, opsz axes controllable per-character.• Multi-pass effects — outline and shadow with color, dilate, offset, softness. Works in Canvas and World.• 30+ built-in markup modifiers — bold, italic, color, size, font, outline, shadow, gradient, link, and more.• Markdown support — **bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~, ++underline++.• Native color emoji — ZWJ sequences, skin tones, flags via system fonts.
