Requirements

Minimum Requirement	Details
Unity 2021.2.0f1	To use this plugin optimally, Unity 2021.2.0f1 is required because this version introduced support for typing Javanese Unicode text in the Unity Editor.
TextMeshPro	TextMeshPro must already be installed in your Unity project because this plugin depends on it. It can be installed via the Package Manager.

Limitations

TextMeshPro TextMeshPro does not read glyph positioning and substitution (GPOS and GSUB)🡕 from Javanese script fonts, so it cannot render Javanese script correctly.

The Javanese TextMeshPro plugin solves this by processing a special Javanese font that contains additional glyphs in the Unicode blocks U+E000-U+E09F and U+E100-U+E11D. These ranges are intentionally chosen because they belong to the Private Use Area (PUA). The glyph positioning in this custom font follows the layout used by the Ngayogyan font.

Therefore, the plugin currently supports only a limited set of fonts: Ngayogyan, Ngayogyan Jejeg dan Noto Sans (Custom). All of these fonts are already included in the plugin package.
