To get the current volume value on Android in Unity without plugin you can use this c# script.
Thanks to the Java Native Interface.

You will get an integer between 0 and ?, 15, 13, 25, …
NB: Actually the max volume value depends of the OS version.

public int GetVolume ()
{
	AndroidJavaObject currentActivity = unityPlayerClass.GetStatic ( "currentActivity" );
	AndroidJavaObject packageManager = currentActivity.Call ( "getPackageManager" );
	AndroidJavaObject context = currentActivity.Call ( "getApplicationContext" );
	AndroidJavaClass audioManagerClass = new AndroidJavaClass ( "android.media.AudioManager" );
	AndroidJavaClass contextClass = new AndroidJavaClass ( "android.content.Context" );
	int AudioManager_STREAM_MUSIC = audioManagerClass.GetStatic<int> ( "STREAM_MUSIC" );
	string Context_AUDIO_SERVICE = contextClass.GetStatic<string> ( "AUDIO_SERVICE" );
	AndroidJavaObject audioService = context.Call<AndroidJavaObject> ( "getSystemService", Context_AUDIO_SERVICE );
	return audioService.Call<int> ( "getStreamVolume", AudioManager_STREAM_MUSIC );
}

public int GetVolume ()

{

AndroidJavaObject currentActivity = unityPlayerClass.GetStatic ( "currentActivity" );

AndroidJavaObject packageManager = currentActivity.Call ( "getPackageManager" );

AndroidJavaObject context = currentActivity.Call ( "getApplicationContext" );

AndroidJavaClass audioManagerClass = new AndroidJavaClass ( "android.media.AudioManager" );

AndroidJavaClass contextClass = new AndroidJavaClass ( "android.content.Context" );

int AudioManager_STREAM_MUSIC = audioManagerClass.GetStatic<int> ( "STREAM_MUSIC" );

string Context_AUDIO_SERVICE = contextClass.GetStatic<string> ( "AUDIO_SERVICE" );

AndroidJavaObject audioService = context.Call<AndroidJavaObject> ( "getSystemService", Context_AUDIO_SERVICE );

return audioService.Call<int> ( "getStreamVolume", AudioManager_STREAM_MUSIC );

}

[Tuto][Unity] Générer et importer des polices bitmaps avec un logiciel gratuit

In this tutorial I will show you how to generate and import bitmap fonts in Unity3D with ShoeBox and GlyphDesigner.

UPDATE 07.07.2016: An Unity asset store plugin can convert your bitmap fonts for free: https://github.com/lite3/Unity-BitmapFontImporter
UPDATE 11.17.2015: Littera is an online tool. It works great and it’s free: http://kvazars.com/littera/
UPDATE: Unity 5.x, I updated the script but there is an issue with the space interline.

EDIT: GitHub repository

You can use your own custom font in your Unity games like this:

First of all we need to export a .xml file and a .png file.

You will also need this piece of code to generate a font compatible with Unity. I modified and found this C# script in the Unity forum.

Download and add this C# script in your Unity Assets folder: GitHub zip

The softwares

It exists several applications to export a bitmap font with a .xml file but in this tutorial we will use ShoeBox and GlyphDesigner:

ShoeBox: Free, Adobe Air required
GlyphDesigner: Shareware, Mac, Windows
Littera: Free, Online
bmGlyph: Shareware, Mac
etc.

Export a bitmap font with ShoeBox

ShoeBox is a free Adobe Air based app for Windows and Mac OSX with game and ui related tools. Each tool uses a drag and drop or clipboard interaction for a quick workflow.

How to generate the required files to import your custom font with ShoeBox?

Download and Install ShoeBox: http://renderhjs.net/shoebox/
You can use my custom font in this .psd file: MyCustomFont.psd
Watch this video bellow but export with the template: FNT-xml Starling. Yes! Starling! :). The BitmapImporterScript.cs script needs a .XML file format.

The video tutorial:

Import the .xml and the .png files in your Unity Assets folder.

Follow the next step of the tutorial in the next chapter after this one.

How to generate the required files to import your custom font with GlyphDesigner?

Download and install GlyphDesigner for Mac or Windows
Create your own custom bitmap font with all the glyphs you need
Click on the Export button
And select Export Type > .xml (BMFont XML)

Click Save
Import the .xml and the .png files in your Unity Assets folder.

Follow the next step of the tutorial in the next chapter.

Import and use the bitmap font in Unity

Import the BitmapFontImporter.cs file in your Unity Assets folder.
Then do a Right Click on the .xml file
Click Generate Bitmap Font
The Script should generate a .material and a .fontsettings file
Now we use the font you just created in your scene
Create an UI > Text game object in your scene
Select the UI Text game object
In the inspector go to the Text (Script) component and add the .fontsettings file in the Character >Font field
Then add the .mat file in the Material field
Never use the Font Size value in the component but use the Scale of the game object instead
