Description
Project: https://playcanvas.com/editor/scene/1230709
The font have been setup as the following:
It is common for a text element to just be numbers set from code. At the moment there is no way to set a text element to use the localised font (fr-FR in this case) without setting a key id.
The workaround is to set a random key id (or a key id that is mapped to " ") so that a localised font asset is used.

Research direction
Begin by tracing the text element's localized-font selection in the engine source; the issue names no file or test entry point. Reproduce the linked editor scene and compare numeric or code-set text with the current random-key workaround. The work is complete when such text uses the locale's font without requiring a key.
