Adding a font

So, basically, I wanted to translate Lona into my native language (Polish), but there has been some problems with a font. While I was researching how to fix it, I found this archived topic (https://itch.io/t/1871106/adding-a-font) where OP had the same problem as I. I downloaded the font from there and I thought everything has been fixed, but... I was wrong. The text in the game is kinda blurry, and if that was my only problem I wound't really care because its not such a big deal, but the some symbols like : don't appear (pic related)

Any ideas how could I fix it?

Edit: So basically, I (kinda) fixed the problem by merging my font with ukrainian one from gamefiles. The text is still blurry, but at least I don't have any more missing characters, so its better than nothing.

From DEV:

blurry by old shitty engine. only way to fix it is use linux with gamescope launcher. or find a pixel based font that support ur language(like the one used in rolePlayS).

adding to this since i was slow, you can also use integer scaling with "lossless scaling" program from steam and just scale it from the lowest possible resolution

what about my main issue
: appearing as blank squares

your font doesn't have that symbol : is different change all symbol to : or find/create a font that supports that

great... that what I was afraid of
I was hoping I could avoid it... but I guess there is no running away from it... oh well
thanks anyway I guess





its not a huge issue, if you have NotePad++ then you can use a function called "Replace All" to change those polish ":" into the english ":", i hope this helps.
This function also exists in the regular Notepad but no body uses regular notepad.
