A BatchDrawCommand is using the pass "<Unnamed Pass 0>" from the shader "Hidden/Shader Graph/FallbackError" which does not define a DOTS_INSTANCING_ON variant. This is not supported when rendering with a BatchRendererGroup (or Entities Graphics). MaterialID: 6 ("SDF-URP(Clone)"), MeshID: 1 ("TextBackendMesh"), BatchID: 1.

It seems like it's trying to use a URP material even though this is an HDRP project. Did I do something wrong?

[dhtpdud]

To fix this, I renamed the 'SDF-HDRP' material to 'SDF-URP'.

But, as you can see, black boxes are now appearing around the text.

Thanks for reporting. Looks like 3 distinct/unrelated issues. (1) SDF-URP-debug.shader should be ignored when URP pipeline is not installed (2) in RegisterFontMaterialSystem.cs I am right now blindly always loading the URP shader https://github.com/Fribur/TextMeshDOTS/blob/e2606af25bb72a2bc876270936f422c9b0f24afa/Systems/FontManagement/RegisterFontMaterialSystem.cs#L31 --->should detect here if the project uses HDRP or URP and load respective material and (3) an issue with the HDRP material. As for (3), could you please try to set the material properties to "transparent"? This should actually be set to "transparent": did you change it? I am setting those shader properties via RegisterFontMaterialSystem.cs, but may need to customize for HDRP.
