Accent symbol won't emboss-Western European Arial text

I'm trying to make a label using a letter with an accent from the character map [Arial Windows:Western European character set]. I had previously left out the grave accent (l'accent grave) for a French word & am trying to edit the emboss feature to replace the existing "E" with "É".

See screen shot below.

The accent will not emboss. I noticed that none of the text when selected text in edit mode will reveal the font. I just happen to know it's Arial.

 

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this  a bug?

I figured it out.

I had  assumed the accented characters weren't in the originating Arial character set but they are.

Apparently you cannot mix character sets when it comes to embossing text. No sure about all characters but the "É" for sure.

Hi! This is a bug. I suspect the sketch profile was not recognized properly. Please share the example here since it is alphabet and font specific.

Many thanks!

Hi Johnson,

 

It turns out I had created the same text on two different sketches (for two different emboss features) & was mistakenly trying to change the "E" on the 1st logo only emboss sketch where the French text was not used in the emboss.

When I edited the second emboss feature sketch with all the text it worked fine. Use of Arial/Windows: Western Europe font worked fine & made no difference.
