Patch the stock DDLC font for better non-en support #5572

Closed ThePotatoGuy closed 4 years ago

ThePotatoGuy commented 4 years ago

The stock DDLC font is known as Aller_RG and has very poor support for other languages. This is the reason why the music menu uses m+ 2p as that font has a much larger base of supported characters.

My limited incursions into fontforge taught me that there is a way to fill in a broken font with another font's glyphs, but I don't quite remember the process. If someone can do this, this would be really helpful.

I recommend using m+ 2p as it looks similar Aller_RG. Both fonts are free to download online (and we ship m+ with the mod).

One more suggestion. It seems that m+2p doesn't support Korean characters and simplified Chinese characters... I suggest using SourceHanSansCN (it's free) to fill in the characters which both Aller_RG and m+2p don't have. Thanks again! The file is here: SourceHanSansCN-Normal.zip
