Easy Font is a complete replacement of the default Unity Text Mesh. It's designed to work in the exactly same way but with extra amazing features:
-Shadows: Add projected text shadows
- Add high quality outline
-Gradients: Add color gradients to your text
-Detail texture: Add detail to the text, like zebra texture!
- Easily tweak text resolution without moving the text
- Support for unity 4.3 sprite layer ordering
- Undo, redo and multi-object editing is now supported

Because it works with Dynamic Fonts non alphabetic characters are fully supported so the localization to any language is painless. Supports ttf, dfont, otf formats

This package has been designed and coded for mobile devices so the performance is great (60fps on iPad 1 of course). .

Full source code include so you can tweak, improve or change whatever you want.
