Default sprite asset not working

(Unity 2018.4.12f1) I have a custom sprite asset I use for embedding controller glyphs into my text for button prompts, e.g. "to jump, press <sprite name="XBox 360/A">. While working on adding more glyphs to the sprite atlas that backs the sprite asset, that has mysteriously stopped working for me -- instead of getting the sprite embedded into the text, I just see the literal text `<sprite name="XBox 360/A">`. I've tried rolling back all changes I've made to my controller glyphs / sprite assets, to no avail.

What's particularly strange is that if I manually set the "Sprite Asset" property of a TMP text object, then that object correctly converts the <sprite> tag into an image. So it seems like TextMeshPro's default sprite asset isn't working...but that default sprite asset is the same it's always been (after I rolled back my changes anyway).

I've also tried just outright deleting the sprite atlas and recreating it from scratch, but I get the same behavior -- TMP doesn't "see" it unless I manually set it as the sprite asset on each individual TMP text object I create.

Notably, even if I use the default EmojiOne sprite asset, it still doesn't work. `<sprite name="Smiling face with smiling eyes">` renders as that literal text instead of the emoji.

Any suggestions for things I should look into?

 

I tried that too, sorry, I should have mentioned. Certainly the EmojiOne resource should have worked if that were the issue, as it's located in the default "Assets/TextMesh Pro/Resources/Sprite Assets" directory, which is the directory pointed to by the settings asset.

 

Got it sorted out. I had two copies of the `TMP Settings.asset` file in my project; the one I was editing was not the one that TextMesh Pro was using. Sigh.
