in my game I have a UI Text that I've called "label", and I want to set its font programmatically. I've tried to do this:
label.GetComponent<Text>().font="Arial";
I get an error because the font attribute doesn't want a string but a Font. So how can I set the font to Arial programmatically?

1) Create a GameObject with a Text component; 2) Create a GameObject with a Button component; 3) Create a GameObject with a component of your custom script; 4) Create the reference in your custom script on the Text component you want to update; 5) Create a public method in your custom script that will be invoked when ...
To insert a Text UI element, go to the Scene Heirarchy, Create → UI → Text. A new Text element should show up in your Canvas region.
This works:
label.GetComponent<Text> ().font = Resources.GetBuiltinResource(typeof(Font), "Arial.ttf") as Font;
try to create a public variable of type Font in the editor.
public Font myNewFont;
then you can do something like
label.GetComponent<Text>().font= myNewFont;
Not able to test it, but I think it should work, here's a very similar question... How to change Font type in Unity?
