Text properties are regular USS style properties. You can set text style properties on any element, regardless of whether it’s a text element (inheriting from TextElement
C# type) or not. Unlike most USS style properties, text style properties propagate to child elements. For example:
<ui:UXML xmlns:ui="UnityEngine.UIElements" xmlns:uie="UnityEditor.UIElements">
<ui:VisualElement style="-unity-font-style: bold-and-italic; font-size: 39px;">
<ui:Label text="Label" />
</ui:VisualElement>
</ui:UXML>
In the example above, the Label
text will be bold, italic, and have a font size of 39px
. The image below displays the available text style properties in the Inspector:

These toggles appear in the header of the selected element, if the selected element is a text element (inherits from TextElement
). For example, Label
and Button
:
You can install the TextMeshPro package, which Unity installs by default. The package features include:
