    Getting this error when trying to build standalone with Unity 2023.1.0a24

    Full Error msg
    Code (CSharp):
    1. Cannot initialize non-default texture with negative or zero width.
    2. UnityEngine.Texture2D:Resize (int,int,UnityEngine.TextureFormat,bool)
    3. TMPro.TMP_FontAsset:ClearAtlasTextures (bool) (at ./Library/PackageCache/com.unity.textmeshpro@3.0.6/Scripts/Runtime/TMP_FontAsset.cs:2846)
    4. TMPro.TMP_FontAsset:ClearFontAssetDataInternal () (at ./Library/PackageCache/com.unity.textmeshpro@3.0.6/Scripts/Runtime/TMP_FontAsset.cs:2726)

    Is there anything that can be done about this at the moment?

    Hi @Stephan_B ,

    This error seems to be specific to only one of my projects, as I'm able to successfully build another one (for Android), which also uses TMPro with Unity 2023.1.0a24.

    Can you point me in the right direction for what might be the cause and how I might resolve it?

    Thanks :)

    This issue is the result of some API change made by the graphic team where it is no longer possible to resize a texture to size 0. We now have to resize it to size 1.

    I believe that should be fixed in version 3.2.0-pre.4.

    Thanks for getting back to me, good to hear a fix is in the pipeline.

    I can only see Version 3.0.6 in the package manager (I have Pre-release Packages enabled), how can I find out when 3.2.0-pre.4 is released and how would I get it, will it show in the Package Manager then?

    In the meantime is there any workaround other than reverting to an older Unity version, as any edits I make to the script are automatically reverted.

    You have to enable the option to see Preview Packages in Package Manager Settings. You can access those from the cog wheel in Package Manager itself or via the Project Settings - Advanced Settings.

    You can also add packages by name in the Package Manager as seen below

    Greetings,
    I updated Unity to the current alpha and faced the same Issue. I followed @Stephan_B advice and updated TMPro to the üre-release version. However, my font is no build incorrectly or not all.

    It's a custom font with dynamic characters.
    What can I do to fix this?

    Make sure that as per the Upgrade Note in the package description that you re-imported the TMP Essential Resources which contain the updated shaders.

    In addition, double check that the default material does have a reference to the font atlas texture.

    I had this OP's issue with 2023.1.0b12 and then the issue mentioned later with the font

    I seen no re-import, so I just removed it and re-added the package and re-imported Essentials

    Working now.

    Thanks
