Unity制作自定义字体的两种方法

Unity支持自定义图片字体（CustomFont），网上有很多教程，细节不尽相同，当概括起来基本就是两种方式。一是使用BMFont，导出图集和.fnt文件，再使用图集在Unity中设置得到字体。二是不用BMFont，使用Unity自带的Sprite类似图集的功能。两种方式原理相同，只是手段有区别。基本原理都是先有一张贴图，比如：

需要知道的信息是贴图中每一个字符对应的ASCII码（例如0的ASCII码为48）与该字符在图集中对应的位置（0为x:0;y:0;w:55;h:76）。然后在Unity中创建材质和CustomFont并根据信息进行设置。

最后得到字体。

两种方式的区别仅在于第一步中如何得到图集的信息。具体的：

对于第一种使用BMFont的方式，目的是得到.fnt文件，实际上是xml格式文件。具体的信息为：

BMFont的使用方法不再详述。得到图集个fnt文件后，网上一般的方法是手动计算在Unity中的参数，有些繁琐，在这里写一个Editor脚本来自动完成这个过程。直接上代码：

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;
 
public class CreateFontFromFnt : EditorWindow
{
    [MenuItem("Tools/创建字体(Fnt)")]
    static void DoIt()
    {
        GetWindow<CreateFontFromFnt>("创建字体");
    }
    private string fontName;
    private string fontPath;
    private Texture2D tex;
    private string fntFilePath;
 
    private void OnGUI()
    {
        GUILayout.BeginVertical();
 
        GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
        GUILayout.Label("字体名称：");
        fontName = EditorGUILayout.TextField(fontName);
        GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
 
        GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
        GUILayout.Label("字体图片：");
        tex = (Texture2D)EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(tex, typeof(Texture2D), true);
        GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
 
        GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
        if (GUILayout.Button(string.IsNullOrEmpty(fontPath) ? "选择路径" : fontPath))
        {
            fontPath = EditorUtility.OpenFolderPanel("字体路径", Application.dataPath, "");
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fontPath))
            {
                Debug.Log("取消选择路径");
            }
            else
            {
                fontPath = fontPath.Replace(Application.dataPath, "") + "/";
            }
        }
        GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
 
        GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
        if (GUILayout.Button(string.IsNullOrEmpty(fntFilePath) ? "选择fnt文件" : fntFilePath))
        {
            fntFilePath = EditorUtility.OpenFilePanelWithFilters("选择fnt文件", Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), new string[] { "", "fnt" });
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fntFilePath))
            {
                Debug.Log("取消选择路径");
            }
        }
        GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
 
        GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
        if (GUILayout.Button("创建"))
        {
            Create();
        }
        GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
 
        GUILayout.EndVertical();
    }
 
    private void Create()
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fntFilePath))
        {
            Debug.LogError("fnt为空");
            return;
        }
        if (tex == null)
        {
            Debug.LogError("字体图片为空");
            return;
        }
 
        string fontSettingPath = fontPath + fontName + ".fontsettings";
        string matPath = fontPath + fontName + ".mat";
        if (File.Exists(Application.dataPath + fontSettingPath))
        {
            Debug.LogErrorFormat("已存在同名字体文件:{0}", fontSettingPath);
            return;
        }
        if (File.Exists(Application.dataPath + matPath))
        {
            Debug.LogErrorFormat("已存在同名字体材质:{0}", matPath);
            return;
        }
        var list = new List<CharacterInfo>();
        XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
        var content = File.ReadAllText(fntFilePath, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
        xmlDoc.LoadXml(content);
        var nodelist = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("font/chars/char");
        foreach (XmlElement item in nodelist)
        {
            CharacterInfo info = new CharacterInfo();
            var id = int.Parse(item.GetAttribute("id"));
            var x = float.Parse(item.GetAttribute("x"));
            var y = float.Parse(item.GetAttribute("y"));
            var width = float.Parse(item.GetAttribute("width"));
            var height = float.Parse(item.GetAttribute("height"));
 
            info.index = id;
            //纹理映射，上下翻转
            info.uvBottomLeft = new Vector2(x / tex.width, 1 - (y + height) / tex.height);
            info.uvBottomRight = new Vector2((x + width) / tex.width, 1 - (y + height) / tex.height);
            info.uvTopLeft = new Vector2(x / tex.width, 1 - y / tex.height);
            info.uvTopRight = new Vector2((x + width) / tex.width, 1 - y / tex.height);
 
            info.minX = 0;
            info.maxX = (int)width;
            info.minY = -(int)height / 2;
            info.maxY = (int)height / 2;
            info.advance = (int)width;
 
            list.Add(info);
        }
 
        Material mat = new Material(Shader.Find("GUI/Text Shader"));
        mat.SetTexture("_MainTex", tex);
        Font m_myFont = new Font();
        m_myFont.material = mat;
        AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(mat, "Assets" + matPath);
        AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(m_myFont, "Assets" + fontSettingPath);
        m_myFont.characterInfo = list.ToArray();
        EditorUtility.SetDirty(m_myFont);
        AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
        AssetDatabase.Refresh();
        Debug.Log("创建成功！");
    }
}
使用起来很简单：

代码也没什么可深究的，目的是代替手动计算，只是在纹理映射的时候有一个小坑。

第二种方式使用Unity中的Sprite。Unity支持把一个Sprite切割成多个。可以用这种方式代替BMFont导出的fnt文件。需要手动做的工作是将图集的TextureType设置为Sprite，然后把SpriteMode设为Multiple，打开SpriteEditor，对图片进行切割。Slice就基本可以完成这个工作，如果需要再手动微调一下。

一张图按照字符的位置分割成了10个Sprite。然后选中每一个Sprite把Name设置成字符对应的ASCII码。这样第一种方法里fnt文件包含的信息基本都包含在这个“图集”里了。同样写一个Editor脚本把这些信息写入到CustomFont里面，并不用手动去创建。

这个脚本参考了某一篇博文，时间长了实在是找不到了。

原理跟第一种方法一样，只是计算细节略有差异。使用起来还是很简单：

大同小异的两种方法，个人更喜欢用第二种。不需要使用额外的软件，一键搞定，基本上可以丢给美术童鞋来做了。
