On the Unity Menu, go to Window → TexMesh Pro → Font Asset creator, and select the font you want to convert.

I strongly suggest you take the time to watch the following videos which cover the important topic of Font Asset Creation as well as Working with Material Presets.

There are also lots of additional videos covering almost every aspect of working with TextMesh Pro.

You can also select a font that you have imported in the Editor and then use context menu Create - TextMeshPro - Font Asset.

See the following videos if you have not already done so as they contain lots of valuable information about font asset creating / fallback / etc.

For best results, in terms of speed and quality, use SDF16, and ratios of text size to padding that are squares, with odd numbered paddings.

So 1/8th, 1/16th, 1/32nd or 1/4 for big blooms, but with odd values for the padding, so you get the benefit of an intrinsic “anti-aliasing”.

ergo:

88 sized text, padding of 11 gives you an 1//8th relationship between text and padding, and an odd numbered amount of padding, so less moire effects in the gradient - and for most full usages of a character set this will easily fit in a 1024x1024 texture.
