First UTF8 only works with TrueType fonts. All other fonts are 7 bit or 8 bit ascii. TrueType fonts are only available with the SDA driver using linux as the target platform. I did just add NotoLatin1 font which is 8 bit ascii and might have what you want. Otherwise you will need to create your own fonts.
If you want the NotoLatin1 you will need to copy the GUIsliceBuilder/fonts/gfx/NotoLarin1 fonts to your Arduino library/Adafruit_GFX/fonts folder before using the Arduino IDE.

Thanks a lot for your response. So creating a font seems to be the way to go. So I am looking for pointers on how to do this and this was my first find:
https://learn.adafruit.com/creating-custom-symbol-font-for-adafruit-gfx-library
Found more stuff:

Especially the first link seems to provide a rather convenient way to create fonts...have to check further
@daybyter You can also use my tool, ttf2gfx. It's how I created NotoLatin1 ttf2gfx Paul--
I'm closing this topic since it seems you have the information you need. Any problem feel free to open a new issue. Paul--
Trying to add an german umlaut to a text label, but it seems they are missing from the character map, although I enable utf-8 ?
