    It seems that the Text Mesh Pro shaders are not DOTS compatible.
    I consider these to be on equal footing with the build-in lit/unlit shaders, I hope that DOTS support can be added to them!

    I asked around and it seems that in latest (or upcoming) TextMeshPro packages (3.2.0-pre.2) there will be ShaderGraph versions of the shaders. These should potentially work out of the box but I have yet had no time to confirm this.

    Had a look in TextMeshPro (3.2.0-pre.3) and still no shader graph.
    Any updates?

    EDIT: I was incorrect, definitely shader graph shaders in there.

    Its not in the examples and extras but this made me have a closer look at the main asset files and low and behold there are shader graph shaders there!

    Good that its there.

    I asked around and got the answer you need to re import the essential resources.

    User has to update / re-import the TMP Essential Resources which contain the updated shaders incuding the SRP shaders.
    To re-import the TMP Essential Resources or just the updated shaders, use the "Window - TextMeshPro - Import ..." menu.    ​
