Correct font setup in Dodge The Creeps 2D.

[chrisl8]

The fonts were not working in Dodge The Creeps 2D example and there was an error being generated.

This fixes the issue based on how the tutorial explains to set up fronts now https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/getting_started/first_2d_game/06.heads_up_display.html#

I believe the Xolonium-Regular.tres file was causing this error:

Class 'Font' or its base class cannot be instantiated.
  editor/plugins/editor_preview_plugins.cpp:828 - Condition "sampled_font.is_null()" is true. Returning: Ref<Texture2D>()

Which appears in both Godot 4.2 and 4.3, although not as readily in 4.2.

The file does not seem to be necessary so I removed it.

There are is one other demo projects that have has this same issue. It is less clear to me on those demos what fonts are supposed to be used where. It seems like at some point in the past the font settings were lost.:

godot-demo-projects\2d\finite_state_machine

If this is a correct solution, then I will go ahead and make a PR for godot-demo-projects\2d\finite_state_machine as well.

Also, I can bundle all of those into one PR or do them one demo at a time. Either way is fine with me.

It looks like this might be the point where many demos godot-demo-projects\2d\finite_state_machine lost its fonts, and I can use this to figure out which fonts to put back:

Does that sound right?

Font handling was remade from scratch for Godot 4.0, so you'll need to disregard the existing .tres font resources.

Depending on your needs, there are 2 approaches:

• Use the font file directly, without an intermediate .tres resource.
• If you need font fallbacks (e.g. for CJK characters), you typically want to create a FontVariation resource, assign it a font and assign font fallbacks there. Save the resulting FontVariation to a .tres resource for easier reusability across scenes.

Ok, well I think this matches with the current tutorial at https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/getting_started/first_2d_game/06.heads_up_display.html# so it seems like the correct fix to me. It makes the fonts actually work and clears out some errors on every startup of this demo with Godot 4+
