There are three commonly used font resources in Cocos Creator: system fonts, dynamic fonts, and bitmap fonts.
1. System fonts
The system font calls the system font that comes with the running platform to render text, and does not require the user to add any related resources to the project.
To use the system font, the Label component's Use System Font property needs to be checked.
FontFamily just select the corresponding font:
2. Dynamic fonts
Currently, Cocos Creator supports dynamic fonts in TTF format.
Just drag the font file with the extension TTF into the resource manager to complete the import of font resources.
How to use TTF fonts :
1. In the resource manager, import the ttf font file
2. Create a 2DLabe object in the hierarchy manager
3. Set the font properties in the Property Inspector

3. Bitmap fonts
Bitmap fonts are composed of font files in fnt format and a png picture. The fnt file provides an index for each character image.
Fonts in this format are generally generated by software, and the Windows platform uses more fnt font generation software:
