Usage Description

Farsi

Preserve Numbers

When checked numbers will not be converted.

Force Fix

RTL Text Mesh Pro does not fix texts that start with English characters. Checking this checkbox forces RTL TextMeshPro to fix the text even when it starts with English character. Multiline English texts will have problem on components that have ForceFix checked.

Fix Tags

When checked, RTL Text Mesh Pro will try to fix rich text tags.

Known Issues

• Fixed in latest version. For older versions follow the steps below We need to override the text property of TextMeshProUGUI. But the text property is not defined virtual. You need to manually make the property virtual.
  • Open TMP_Text.cs from TextMeshPro source code
  • add virtual keyword to text property.
    
  • Open RTLTextMeshPro.cs and uncomment the top line where it says //#define RTL_OVERRIDE
  • Now you can use InputFields and Dropdowns.
