Thank you for reporting a bug to Unity. After reviewing the behavior, we've confirmed it aligns with the current design and intended use of the feature. We understand this may differ from your expectations or workflow. We will close this case as 'As Designed.' If you have feedback on how the feature could better meet your needs, please let us know - we value your input and consider it in future improvements.

Steps to reproduce:

Create and open a new project
Import any font into the Project (default TextMeshPro fonts also reproduce)
Open Window -> Text -> Font Asset Creator
Select the imported font as the Source Font
Click "Generate Font Atlas" and save it
Create and open a new UXML file
Drag a new element and select it
Expand the Text section in UI Builder's Inspector
Change Font to "Font Asset" and attach the newly created Font Asset
Observe the Console and the UI Builder viewport

Actual results: "Advanced text system cannot render using static font asset" error is thrown

Expected results: No errors are thrown

Reproducible with versions: 6000.3.0a5, 6000.3.17f1, 6000.4.11f1, 6000.5.0f1, 6000.6.0a7

Not reproducible with versions: 6000.0.77f1, 6000.3.0a4

Tested on (OS): Windows 11 Pro (25H2)

Notes:

Font Assets also fail to render in UI Toolkit
Reproducible with any FontAsset
Not reproducible with simple Fonts (not FontAssets)
