How to set the font size in GUI.Label

Question

Hey guys,

I was just wondering, I have created a GUI Label, but I was wondering, how do you change the font size????

Here is my code:

 var font : Font;
 
 function OnGUI () {
 GUI.skin.label.font = font;
 GUI.Label (Rect (650, 650, 300, 50), "MY TEXT");
 }

Thanks

-Grady

Pass a GUIStyle into the function and set the font size inside the GUIStyle.

http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/GUIStyle.html

so your new code would be

var style : GUIStyle;
function OnGUI()
{
    GUI.Label(Rect(650, 650, 300, 50), "HELLO WORLD", style);
}

The 3d platformer tutorial has a section on GUIStyles at page 58

As someone who is new, it would be really useful if you, or someone else, could mention how to accomplish this purely through code. I would prefer not to always specify these things from the editor.

@graham_branch First you want to create a GUIStyle variable. Then you will want to change the fontSize of that variable. For C#, it might look something like this:

 private GUIStyle guiStyle = new GUIStyle(); //create a new variable
 
 private void OnGUI ()
     {
         guiStyle.fontSize = 20; //change the font size
         GUILayout.Label("Write your text here.", guiStyle);
     }

Thanks Steven, instantiating the style was what I was struggling to figure out, though I did figure it out eventually.

Does this not work for Android?

You probably need to multiply with dpi as fontSize is in pixels
