How to change the font and size of a text in a gui box?

Question

So I finally was able to get my ammo display to work, and was just wondering a few t$$anonymous$$ngs:

How do I change the font of the text, because it seems to be only in Arial at the moment
How do I change the size of the text so it is bigger than the default size
How to make the box in the bottom, left area (not corner) of the screen
And finally, how to change the size of the box

Thanks in advance!

(Using Untiy 4.6 and javascript)

Okay i just added:

 var ChangeText : GUIStyle;

to is and it did the job. You can go to the inspector to change the font and size. As for where to place the text, I just looked at unity docs.

well you also have to do this:

 GUI.Box (Rect (Screen.width - 1250,Screen.height - 50,100,50), ammo + "/" + Allammo, ChangeText);

To see it in the inspector.

This is my full script:

 #pragma strict
 
 import UnityEngine.UI;
   
 var bullet : GameObject;
 private var bulletsPerSecond = 20.0;
 private var shooting = false;
 private var Allammo : int = 320;
 var ammo : int = 40;
 var sound: AudioClip; 
 var Gun : GameObject;
 var textStyle : GUIStyle;
 var Reloadammo : int = 0;
 var Distance : float;
 var MaxDistance : int = 2;
 var TAmmo : int = 1;
 var Remainder : int = 0;
 
 function Start()
 {  
     InvokeRepeating("Shoot", 0.0, 1.0 / bulletsPerSecond);
 }
 function Shoot()
 {
     if (!shooting || ammo < 1) return;
     var go = Instantiate(bullet, transform.position, transform.rotation);
     go.rigidbody.AddRelativeForce(Vector3.forward * 1000.0);
     ammo = (ammo - 1);
     audio.PlayOneShot(sound);
 }
 function Update()
 {
     if ((Allammo > 0) || ((ammo <= 40) && (ammo > 0) && (Allammo == 0)))
      {
          if (ammo > 0)
          {
              if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
              {
                  shooting = true;
              }
              if (Input.GetButtonUp("Fire1"))
              {
                  shooting = false;
              }
          }
          else
          {
              shooting = false;
              if (40 <= Allammo)
              {
                  if (320 >= Allammo)
                  {
                      Allammo = (Allammo - 40);
                      ammo = 40;
                  }
        
              }
              if (40 > Allammo)
              {
                  if (ammo != 40) 
                  {
                      ammo = Allammo;
                      Allammo = 0;
                  }
              }
          }
      }
      else shooting = false;
      
     if ((Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.R)) && (Allammo > 0) && (ammo < 40))
     {
         Reloadammo = (40 - ammo);
         if (Allammo >= Reloadammo)
         {
              ammo = 40;
              Allammo = (Allammo - Reloadammo);
          }
     }    
 }    
 function OnGUI () 
 {
     GUI.Box (Rect (Screen.width - 1250,Screen.height - 100,100,50), ammo + "/" + Allammo, textStyle);
 }
