# Debugging TextMesh Pro text
|
|
|
|
Use the Text Info Debug Tool to display diagnostic information about a TextMesh Pro GameObject in the Scene view and the Inspector.
|
|
|
|
For example, you can display lines that indicate font metrics such as the line height, or the offset for superscript and subscript text. This can help you diagnose problems with fonts you import.

_The TextMesh Pro debug tool set to show character bounding boxes and font metrics_
|
|
|
|
>[NOTE!]
|
|
>The debug tool is part of the TextMesh Pro Examples & Extras package. You can install the package from the menu (select **Window > TextMesh Pro > Import TMP Examples and Extras**) or the [TextMesh Pro settings](Settings.md).
|
|
|
|
To use the debug tool:
|
|
|
|
1. Open a TextMesh Pro GameObject in the Inspector.
|
|
|
|
2. [Add](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UsingComponents.html) a **TMP_TextInfoDebugTool** component.
|
|
|
|
3. From the **TMP_Text Info Debug Tool** section, turn debug [settings](#text-info-debug-tool-properties) on and off. You can see the results in the Scene view.
