UI looks scrambled

[crjenkins]

Hello, I'm very new to the 2D Toolkit. I tried out the UI Manager by clicking on the demo scene given and on my screen it looks like the UI is scrambled.



Is there any way to fix this?

Pretty sure this is the problem, see here:

Ok for some reason the font is getting wiped. Open up the UIDemoSpriteCollection sprite collection, and then under the "fonts" category, you'll see an entry labelled "Empty". Click on it, and in the "BM Font" slot, drag in "OldSansBlack". Commit and everything should work again. Not sure why its lost the reference - that file has been there for a long time.

Is it broken importing into a brand new / empty Unity project? If so, what version of Unity is this on, and did you import any default packages when creating the project?

Profanicus has the correct solution there - that will fix the issue, but I've still not identified the cause, as it seems to work for some people and not others.

For me it is broken in a brand new empty project (no other packages loaded) with the asset store hotfix 2 version, and with the tilemap pre-release. Win 64 Unity 4.1.4f1.

edit: tested on my Mac as well, same versions and same scrambled result.

Thanks. I'll investigate that. Could be something specific to that branch - it seems fine on my current branch. Or... it could be something that breaks when upgrading to 4.x, as its being developed primarily in 3.x....

I have a 3.5 install, and the same package works fine on that.

I can't see how it would make much difference, but just in case - my 3.5 is a pro license and my 4 is free license.

It shouldn't make any difference if its installed on free or pro. I'll try setting up that link again for the next release. Hopefully, that will fix it.
