TextMeshPro	TextMeshPro must be installed in your Unity project as this plugin depends on it. You can install TextMeshPro through the Package Manager.

Limitations

TextMeshPro does not handle glyph positioning or substitution (GPOS and GSUB) for Javanese script fonts, making it unable to display Javanese text properly.

The Javanese TextMeshPro plugin addresses this by processing specially prepared Javanese script fonts with additional glyphs in the Unicode blocks U+E000-U+E09F and U+E100-U+E11D. These blocks are within the Private Use Area (PUA), and the glyph arrangement follows the layout of the Ngayogyan font.

Currently, the plugin only supports a limited selection of fonts, including Ngayogyan, Ngayogyan Jejeg, and a custom version of Noto Sans. All these fonts are included in the plugin package.
