This resource pack replaces the default Japanese font with a true pixel-style bitmap font. In the vanilla game, Japanese characters appear thin and non-pixelated, which does not reflect the authentic look.
Features
- Includes bitmap PNGs for:
- Kana (Hiragana: 87 characters, Katakana: 90 characters)
- Kanji (CJK: 6,356 characters)
- Latin Extended (15 characters)
- Miscellaneous Symbols (338 characters)
- Arrows (6 characters)
- Mathematical Symbols (37 characters)
- Technical Symbols (1 character)
- Block Elements (17 characters)
- Geometric Shapes (16 characters)
- General Symbols (15 characters)
- Based on the free-to-use Misaki Gothic 2 (美咲ゴシック第2) font
- Makes Japanese text in-game sharper, more authentic, and faithful to the classic pixel aesthetic
