Hmmm, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but Strategies is installed via sideload from the official site, meaning the files you sent I paste after unzipping into a directory: `Data/user.XXXXXX.com.gingerbeardman.strategies/decks`

I have the custom font enabled in the options, it is detected, but the Polish characters are still missing, so the deck looks like this:

I’m an idiot. The font I put in the zip is the editable font (.fnt), but what you need to put in the game is a compiled font (.pft). If you download the dropbox again the correct file is in there. Please let me know how it goes! Once it works, if you have a type of font you like, I’ll try to put one together for you.

I have replaced the files, however, I still have the same problems. In the deck you prepared, the Polish characters are simply omitted. In mine, on the other hand, they are replaced by squares, even though I added this font file. :/ I also tested on the simulator and it is exactly the same as on the device.

I also noticed that the custom font doesn't work for quizzes, or I'm declaring something wrong:

`pixel,quiz`.

OK, the screenshot helped. You need to replace the font inside the Strategies.pdx with the new file. Not in decks. The font replacement could be classed as unsupported modding.

Great, thank you very much! Your deck is now working, however there was a problem left with the quiz I prepared.

For unknown reasons I had made it so that custom fonts only worked in Deck mode (not Quiz or Interactive Fiction) but I’ve uploaded version 1.2.4 that allows custom fonts to work in all modes.
