instead of using unitys vanilla text module, I would use Textmesh Pro. Unity bought this Asset and made it free. Text looks a lot better with it.

As for your problem. You can either count the characters of your incoming string and do a switch-case so every x characters the text box increases to a new line. Or you need to loop over every character and add their width to get the string width and do some math with that number.

get text width / font character width

yes ı turn all of text to tmp, its too usefull. thanx :) – cantaş May 17 '20 at 01:08 — cantaş, May 17 '20 at 01:08

I got all the texts inside the panel object and increased the panel object according to the length of the incoming text (my line length was around 30 characters). You can try.

dPanel.GetComponent<RectTransform>().sizeDelta = new Vector2(dPanel.GetComponent<RectTransform>().sizeDelta.x, 73 + (50 * PanelArttir(soru.dSikki.Length)));
            ePanel.GetComponent<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition = new Vector2(0, (dPanel.GetComponent<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition.y - 90 - (50 * PanelArttir(soru.dSikki.Length))));

You can adjust font like this

//some condition
gameObjectThatHasText.GetComponent<Text>().fontSize = 12;
