You and everyone did an excellent job! You mentioned the moment in the forest of fond memories; that was the moment I think where i went from thinking 'This is a cool and well made game' the feeling there was special here. The fear of being betrayed, every day by what you read in the news paper, by people around you - and then then the horror of commiting that betrayal yourself. Oof!
With regards to picking a font; I spent ages looking for one on mine, only to find that it ruined all the text formatting. I wasn't going to go through all of that again, so I got into the weeds. In the end the solution was fairly simple (fairly) - I imported the font into a program called FontForge. It's a little tricky to use, but you can do everything in here, even create a new font from scratch. I also imported the default RPG Maker font and compared the character spacing; it took a little trial and error, but by setting the character spacing of my font to be the same as the RPG Maker one and then nuding it a few pixels after experimentation, I was able to make my font take up exactly the same amount of room in the text box as the default one.
Hopefully that can be helpful for you as well! I picked mine from a big list of free for commercial use fonts too, so there were no qualms about editing them in this way - I wish I still had it and I could link it for you.
