Have you added a font resource using a font that supports the characters required and selected a range of characters that includes the ones you need, and added draw_set_font(the_font_resource) in the Draw event before any code drawing text?

I don't know if this is something you need, but GM's dialog functions are hard coded to have english only for buttons and I believe some other things as well depending on the target platform.

For button and other forms of localization in dialogs, if you ever need it: https://forum.yoyogames.com/index.php?threads/dialog-module-for-windows-macos-and-ubuntu.44311/

Supports full UTF-8 encoding on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Overrides the default functions. Async dialogs work slightly different so be sure to check out the example project.

I was able to use the Oswald font to produce those characters. I added a new font, selected Oswald, selected Add new range, pasted the quoted string you used in your first post to get a selection of characters to add, clicked Add Range, then the following in a Draw event
GML:
draw_set_font(fnt_test);
draw_text(x, y, "İ,Ş,Ö,Ü,Ğ,Ç,ı,ş,ö,ü,ğ");

You didn't add the characters to the font, you just typed into the preview box. I can see that because your font's range still has only 2 rows, 32...255 and 9647.

Go back to the Font properties window, click the Add button (besides the "Add new range" label), then paste your "İ,Ş,Ö,Ü,Ğ,Ç,ı,ş,ö,ü,ğ" string into the text box from the subwindow that comes up (under the 4 buttons that read Normal/ASCII/Digits/Letters), then click Add Range. Your Turkish characters should start showing up between the 32...255 and the 9647 rows. Then try running again.
