    Exceptions are being thrown when I create new TMP Font Assets from newly imported TTF and OTF fonts. This was working in 2022.3. Any idea why this is happening?

    Cannot initialize non-default texture with negative or zero width.
    UnityEngine.Texture2D:.ctor (int,int,UnityEngine.TextureFormat,bool)
    TMPro.TMP_FontAsset_CreationMenu:CreateFontAssetFromSelectedObject (UnityEngine.Object) (at ./Library/PackageCache/com.unity.textmeshpro@3.0.6/Scripts/Editor/TMP_FontAsset_CreationMenu.cs:220)
    TMPro.TMP_FontAsset_CreationMenu:CreateFontAsset () (at ./Library/PackageCache/com.unity.textmeshpro@3.0.6/Scripts/Editor/TMP_FontAsset_CreationMenu.cs:172)

    I figured it out. I was creating the font asset the wrong way...

    The method that did not work...
    Right click on font file->Create->TextMeshPro->Font Asset

    The method that did work...
    Window->TextMeshPro->Font Asset Creator

    The generated assets work fine when created from the Font Asset Creator window.

    As I mentioned, the first method used to work, so this might be a bug. I'm happy I have a workaround.

    I have same problem(or bug).
    and when click on font file ->Create-> Text->Font Asset
    The editor create an asset that contains TMP Material but still a Textcore asset nor a TMP Font Asset file.
    That's really strange.

    Upgrade TMP version to 3.2.0-pre.5 can fix it .
