    // supports '-' sign
    TextMesh t;
    void Start()
    {
        t = transform.GetComponent<TextMesh>();
        if (t.font.HasCharacter('-'))
        {
            Debug.Log("Font supports '-' sign.");
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogWarning("This font doesnt support '-'");
        }
    }
}
