TextMeshPro renders text wrong?

When you want to display text in Unity (starting circa version 2021,) the text components default to TextMeshPro (TMP). TextMeshPro makes you create an asset called “Font Asset” before you can display anything. It contains a Font Atlas, which is a collection of pre-rendered letters packed into a single image, whose mapping TMP keeps track of to display the text afterwards.
When making the atlas, you can set the sampling point size (SPS), which is the font size used to pre-render the letters. This also translates to the biggest font size at which TMP can safely display the letters (for the most part). For example, smaller SPS sometimes characters to be positioned incorrectly. Bigger SPS requires larger atlas size, but it helps you avoid weird issues… or does it?

Unity’s conventional input system is easy to use, but there is one issue with it - it is frame locked.

Not sure what that means? Let me show you: if you are new to Unity, chances are that you have read or even written this piece of code yourselves.

using UnityEngine;
public class Sample: MonoBehaviour {
  private void Update() {
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) {
        Debug.Log("Space pressed now");
    }
  }
}

So you want to typeset LaTeX locally

Nowadays, we have the luxury of ‘cloud LaTeX services’ like Overleaf, but sometimes you will run into timeout issues because you used a bit too many images.
It will never be a problem if you can just typeset LaTeX locally, so here’s the setup I use for my purposes.
Note that I need a CJK environment, or more specifically, I need to be able to typeset Japanese characters.

Well, this is a shameless plug but this is my blog, so here goes;

Did you notice that the sidebar on this blog now has an ad?

If you are reading this on smartphones, sorry, sidebar is only available on the desktop version of this website. Try viewing it from tablet or PC!

Don’t worry, this is not a tracking ad. It is a static ad that I’ve placed. Audiostock is a website where I sell some “stock music.”

The compilation I wrote about in this blog is now on sale at pixiv BOOTH!
