There is a bit of limitation to what you can do with UI Text. Luckily, there is TextMeshPro. TextMesh Pro is a Unity asset that allows for significantly more text control. Additionally, its rendering allows text to appear crisp at more resolutions and point sizes than possible with the standard UI Text. TextMesh Pro used to be a paid asset in the Unity Asset Store, but it was adopted by Unity around March 2017 and is available for free now. Unity has stated that they will be implementing TextMesh Pro in Unity 2017, but at the time of writing this chapter, has not done so yet. However, it is a safe bet to assume that it will be implemented in Unity soon and will not need to be downloaded as a separate asset. It may eventually replace UI Text entirely, but it is not entirely clear at this time whether that will happen.
