## From README

Optimize TextMeshPro Triage — identify the symptom first Before providing tips, identify which category the user's issue falls into. If the user has not described a specific symptom, ask: "Are you seeing a memory/atlas bloat, visual quality, CPU/performance, build size, or localization/alignment issue with TextMeshPro?" | Symptom | Go To | |---|---| | Memory Profiler shows large or multiple TMP atlases | Font Stack & Dynamic Fallbacks, Memory Profiler: Include Font Data | | Inconsistent glyph weight, fuzzy edges, visual quality | Padding & Sampling Ratios, Font Asset Scale, Atlas Render Mode: SDF16 | | CPU spikes during text updates or Canvas rebuilds | AutoSize, Worldspace vs Canvas Text | | Build size too large from shipped font files | Dynamic OS Atlas Population | | Mixed Latin + CJK alignment looks off | Font Normalization | | Need multiple font styles (italic, outline, glow) | Material Presets | --- Core Rules Main font = static asset with all glyphs baked in.
