We need Umlaute! (Variable Text doesn't like äüö)
Specifically when working with variables in text form. They are not being imported correctly, despite everything else working. See picture.

Very interesting.
I still can’t grasp why it works in some cases and do not in others...
Can you please share all test strings you used, and the file you used. The link to the video you mention could help too. The font I am able to get. -

Thank you for responding!
I'm afraid that's not the case, however. The font itself has all the letters I need.
I did some more testing and even Arial as well as all other fonts I tried had the same result... (My font: Louis George Café)But here's the kicker: If I just put the special letters in a text box without anything else, it works!
I'm beyond confused now. On their own the Umlaute are fine, in a text they and neighboring letters are left out.(Just on the side - using the same Variable for multiple objects also runs into an error for me and many people, according to a YouTube-Tutorial. It says something like "The filter can't be run completely due to an unknown error.")

Saskia, I believe it depends on font, rather than the engine. If the font does not have diacritics, Illustrator has nowhere to get them from.
What font is this?
