Please Note: This component relates to legacy methods for drawing UI(User Interface) Allows a user to interact with your application. More info
See in Glossary textures and images to the screen. You should use Unity’s up-to-date UI system instead. This is also unrelated to the IMGUI system.

Details
GUI Texts are used to print text onto the screen in 2D. The CameraA component which creates an image of a particular viewpoint in your scene. The output is either drawn to the screen or captured as a texture. More info
See in Glossary has to have a GUI Layer attached in order to render the text. Cameras include a GUI Layer by default, so don’t remove it if you want to display a GUI Text. GUI Texts are positioned using only the X and Y axes. Rather than being positioned in World Coordinates, GUI Texts are positioned in Screen Coordinates, where (0,0) is the bottom-left and (1,1) is the top-right corner of the screen. To add a GUIText component in Unity 5.0, first use GameObject->Create Empty to create an empty game object, then use the Component->Rendering->GUIText option to add the GUIText component to the newly created game object. If the text isn’t visible when you press Play, check that the transform has suitable position, typically (0.5, 0.5, 0.0).
To import a font see the Font page.
To use Rich Text see the Rich Text page.
Pixel Correct
By default, GUI Texts are rendered with Pixel Correct enabled. This makes them look crisp and they will stay the same size in pixelsThe smallest unit in a computer image. Pixel size depends on your screen resolution. Pixel lighting is calculated at every screen pixel. More info
See in Glossary independent of the screen resolution.
