Well, that font EurofontC is a Cyrillic knock-off of Eurostile. You could replace it with real Eurostile (which most certainly has the u-with-umlaut) and there'd be no visual difference.

So it means that the ü, ä, ö glyphs do not exist in this font. What do you see in the glyph ânel when you select one of the highlighted character?

 

How can I appear the hidden signs not using anather font.

It will not be possible if the glyphs are missing.

I still think that the only way forward is to use a different font, but You Do You (or what your client wants, if that's what you have ot do).
