Not sure if this is a font issue or general text rendering issue, but the non‑breaking hyphen “‑“ does not render correctly:
playdate.update = function() end
playdate.graphics.drawText("Non‑breaking hyphen.", 15, 100)
This happens both on device and in the simulator.

You’ll need to make sure the font you’re using has that character in it, that should fix it up.

That worked, thanks! It took me a while to realize the font file path needs to be passed without the .fnt suffix, which would be good to clarify in the docs.
