UnityStbEasyFont
A port of stb_easy_font.h to Unity/C#.
Primarily for the cases where you need some simple text, but don't want to use built-in Unity's UI/TextMesh/GUIText for whatever reason. In my case, I needed some explanatory text on screen for automated graphics tests, that would never change if/when our font system changes.
SimpleTextMesh component: TextMesh equivalent (3D positioned text in world space)
SimpleGUIText component: GUIText equivalent (screenspace pixel-size text)
Unity version
This project is built with Unity 5.1.1, but generally the code should work in pretty much any version. I think :)
Code Quality
Code was just whipped together in a hurry ("throwaway prototype to validate idea" state right now), not much comments or robustness. Use at your own risk.
