Any reason for the + shaped comma, semicolon, colon, and fullstop symbol? Locked

Hi!

Generally, I love the font and the large number of glyphs available for use in dialogue. That said, I do find that the + shaped versions of the period and other dot symbols is a bit of an odd choice that keeps me from using the font as I think it's a style choice I don't think fits my game. I especially find the in-font prompts extremely compelling, but for a font that has the stated goal of being "the defacto font for pixel games and applications," this is a pretty bold departure from the rendering of those glyphs. Curiously the styling does not apply to the Full Width CJK version of the characters as far as I can tell.

So I guess that's just a long winded way of asking if there's some non-stylistic reason for the choice that I've overlooked and whether there is interest from your side in making a more standard rendering version for those glyphs available?

Thanks for your hard work on the font and for your time! :D

Hello!

Thanks for using the font~!


The shape here is because you can't really get "round" at that size, and a solid box does not look good at all (not at 1*1px or 2*2px).

Thanks for your feedback
