TTF Fonts in Unity's 5.1 Are Not Showing Up

[cloudcamaleoniv1]

I’m using Unity 64 bits in Windows 10

It doesn’t matter if I’m using the native UI System or a 3D Text Mesh, the ttf fonts I chose are being displayed as Arial.

I’ve installed Unity 32 bits and the same issue occurs.

Is this some incompatibility with Windows 10? Am I the only one having this issue?

Thanks

-----------EDIT-------------
OTF Fonts are working just fine. This is very strange

I have problems with some true type fonts too, where they simply render as Arial.

I filed a bug-report in Mai 2015 (Case 697294) about this issue. Here is Unitys reply:

It appears that FreeType won’t find a character map for this font, so, while it can parse the font, it considers it an empty font without any characters. I can see that the font works in OS X outside of Unity, so this must be an issue in either FreeType or the way we use FreeType. However, this is unlikely to get fixed for now, as long as this does not affect many fonts. TTF is a very complex format, and there are a lot of weird ways to encode fonts which Unity would not support (and in some cases, intentionally does not support, so we can ship with a stripped down version of FreeType which won’t blow up player build size as much). For now, Unity will display an error message in this case in the future.

It should not be difficult to load this font in a font editor and save it differently so that it would work in Unity.
