aha! I think “Underline” is the actual character that could not be found :eyes:

I think I didn’t get it, because the missing character isn’t put in quotes. I read it like this: “There is some character used in combination with underline that is not available”.

In the case of my font (an older version of TAPEWORM) the Underline character was the Underscore. I opened the font in FontForge, copied the hyphen and pasted it into the underscore character, and moved it down to the right position. Once I re-generated the font texture in Unity the error went away.
