    Is it possible? Or should I make a new font every time I want to add new character?
    Thanks in advance, Google seems to betray me this time, as I didn't find anything useful there.

    Are you trying to add new characters to a static font asset or dynamic font asset?

    I suggest you take a look at the following videos

    To a static one. Thanks for videos, I've just watched them both. I made a dynamic font asset and made it a Fallback option for that static one.

    Note: As per the video, it is pretty easy to start with a dynamic font asset and then switch it to static at any point. I often use that to add characters to static font assets where I go from one to the other. That is provided there is room in the atlas texture to add new glyphs.
