Use the legacy Text Core in UI Toolkit

If for some reason you need to use the legacy Text Core in UI Toolkit, you can enable it in UI Builder, USS, and C# scripts.

In UI Builder

To use the legacy Text Core in UI Builder, do the following:

  1. Select the (root) visual element that you want to apply to.
  2. In the Inspector panel, select Inlined Styles > Text.
  3. From the Text Generator Type dropdown, select Standard.

In USS

To use Text Core in USS, set -unity-text-generator to standard. The following USS example sets it for the root element:

:root {
    -unity-text-generator: standard;
}

In C# scripts

To use Text Core in C# scripts, set TextGeneratorType to Standard. For example:

textElement.style.unityTextGenerator = new StyleEnum<TextGeneratorType>(TextGeneratorType.Standard);
