Quick Hyphenation

Quick Hyphenation allows you to hyphenate your strings and Text Mesh Pro text fields in Unity, allowing for a massively improved text layoting quality and look by allowing for word breaks.

Check out the demo at https://quick.demo.neoludic.games

This often drastically improves the look of left-alligned text and is absolutely critical whenever you use justified text.

Quick Hyphen is based on Frank Liang’s Hyphenation algorithm, and can use any set of pre-computed patterns.

See https://hyphenation.org/ for a list of available patterns under permissive open source licenses, usually MIT or LPPL.

Quick Hyphenation comes with a set of pre-configured hyphenation assets for:

Danish - MIT License

Dutch - LPPL 1.0

UK English - MIT

US English - See Below*

French - MIT

German - MIT

Italian - MIT

Polish - MIT

Portuguese - BSD 3

Russian - LPPL 1.2

Spanish - MIT

Ukranian - LPPL 1.2

Welsh - LPPL 1.0

Using it is as simple as adding a component to your Text Mesh Pro text objects.
