I was just testing the hosted version at https://www.fontgenerator.dev/small-text?text=äÄöÖüÜß and found a curious behaviour when it comes to German umlauts.

The umlauts ö and ü are supported, but the umlauts ä and ß are not. I don't think this has anything to do with the font, but perhaps with the encoding/decoding of the characters?

Could you please check this?

Thanks for the feedback, this is due to incomplete mapping data, the internationalized alphabet hasn't found the right information yet, I'll fix the problem you submitted in a minute!

ß No relevant conversion resources could be found.

I tried these sites:

äÄ Added Conversion
0.2.8.rc...0.2.9.rc

Thanks for the quick fix! Should we leave this open in case someone comes up with an idea on how to deal with ß, or do we close this topic as ß is a rather unusual letter?

I checked some sources but couldn't find ß-related Unicode mappings, only the similar 𝞫 https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+1D7AB
