Resolution Note:
Changing the editor font via fontsettings.txt was not officially supported. To simplify Unity's text systems, we updated to TextCore in version 2023.1+, which is based on the same technology as TextMesh Pro and UI Toolkit. This introduces a different font fallback mechanism that is not yet accessible to users. We plan to increase customization options in the future.
