    Hi!

    I'm translating my game and I'm having problems in Spanish, French and German.

    I use the Alice-Regular font.

    https://fonts.google.com/specimen/A...re! ÄÜöy&preview.text_type=custom&query=alice

    The problem is that the font can display letters such as ä, ö and ü in German. However, these letters are not displayed in TMP.

    The same problems with accents in Spanish and French. È, â and other letters are also not displayed in TMP.

    Does anyone have an idea where the problem is?

    Thanks!

    The font file does indeed contains those characters.

    As such, make sure these characters and glyphs are included in your font asset if it is static.

    If the font asset is dynamic and the characters still do not show up, please provide me with an example of a string that you use to reference these characters where they don't show up.

    I have found the problem. The character set was ASCII. If I use Extended ASCII, the missing characters are present.

    What characters do not show up?

    BTW: Arial has a pretty limited character coverage. Ie. It mostly contains Latin characters.
