Unity Usage Notes
In the Font Asset Creator in TextMeshPro, using a Sample Size (Point Size) of 30, padding to 1px, setting Render Mode to RASTER, and turning off "Get Font Features" will give the best results. (If 30 provides misshapen blocks try higher numbers. This number may increase if there are particular high characters in the font.)
After creating the Font Asset, tap the arrow on its icon to expand, go to the Atlas, and set the filter mode to "Point". This will stop any rounding and keep your font looking crisp!
This font displays properly at point sizes that are multiples of 30 (or the number you used above). Using any other point sizes isn't recommended unless you're intentionally looking for a distorted style.
