How to do it...

To display a Hello World text message, follow these steps:

1. Create a new Unity 2D project.
2. Import the provided Fonts folder, as described in the Getting ready section. Copy these font files into your Unity project – they need to be in your Assets folder.

3. In the Hierarchy window, add a Text GameObject to the scene by going to GameObject | UI | Text. Name this GameObject Text-hello.

Alternatively, you can use the Create menu immediately below the Hierarchy tab. To do so, go to Create | UI | Text.

4. Ensure that your new Text-hello GameObject is selected in the Hierarchy window.
   Now, in the Inspector window, ensure the following properties are set:
   • Text set to read Hello World
   • Font set to Xolonium-Bold
   • Font Size as per your requirements (large – this depends on your screen; try 50 or 100)
   • Alignment set to horizontal and vertical-center
   • Horizontal and Vertical Overflow set to Overflow
   • Color set to white
