    Greetings,
    I am using a Text Mesh Pro with a specific font downloaded here and it works fine, but whenever I use letters with an accent, the default font is used (and you really see it). I'm french so the text will be filled with those letters.


    When I use the windows font visualizer, the letters are displayed properly :


    Any idea on how to fix it ?
    Thank you in advance.

    Most likely when you created the font asset, you did not select Extended ASCI in the Font Asset Creator which is why for those characters (since they are not part of the ASCII set) when end up coming from a fallback which in this case appears to be from the LiberationSans SDF assigned in the TMP Settings.

    Below is an image showing (top) your font asset with Extended ASCII where the accented letters are coming from that font. (Bottom) the same line of text using LiberationSans SDF where you can see the accented a and e are from that font asset.
