1. Yes, in 2.6.4.
2. You need a special shader for that.

It wasn't ready for 2.6.4 due to time constraints. I'll add it natively as soon as I can.

This feature was put on hold due to other issues with dynamic fonts. When Unity resolves the issues, I'll revisit this feature. So hopefully with Unity 4.6.

What is the issue with dynamic font with Unity? Do you mean you want using the rich text of Unity for this feature ?

No, I have no plans to adopt the rich text format used by Unity.

1. Characters being removed from the font's texture randomly at times, screwing up what's being drawn.
2. No kerning info.
3. Much slower than bitmap fonts.
