Text all blurry now in 5.5
« on: December 08, 2016, 07:21:30 AM »
I've just upgraded a project from 5.4 to 5.5 with the latest NGUI an all my text has gone very poor quality and blurry.
It's a text heavy app so looks terrible now. The text is all using the unity built in Ariel font.

Are you targeting DX9? Do you have custom shaders?

Unity 5.5 removed the need for a half pixel offset on DX9, so if you did any custom offsetting, remove it.

It's set to OSX standalone, I'm not using any custom shaders that I am aware of (how do I check?). I'd insert an image to show you just how bad it is but I don't know how to insert an image on this forum.

For now I've had to swap it all over to NGUI fonts but this is less than ideal.

So NGUI's fonts are fine, but Unity's dynamic fonts are blurry?

Yes, NGUI fonts are crisp and solid, the Unity fonts both the builtin Arial and any other ttf font I try are very blurry, faded and just plain terrible. It's reminds me of a mip mapped texture.

I've just changed target to IOS and the unity text is now working fine like it was. So it seems to be something wrong when targeting desktop.

Check your quality settings. Chances are, you have it set to reduce texture quality.
