msgothic_0 is used for Japanese only and is based off of MS Gothic

To avoid confusion in this readme:
4+
- "font asset" will refer to the font asset used in the Unity Sharedassets files.
5+
- "font file" will refer to what we usually think of as fonts, eg "MS Gothic.ttf" and "PT Sans.ttf"

## Differences between Ch.1-9 and Ch.10 (Hou+)

If you're developing a translation into a non-English language like Vietnamese and you find that the font is missing characters needed for your language, try renaming the two `msgothic_2 for non-English` files over the PT Sans ones. These are based off of Deja-Vu Sans which has support for more languages than PT Sans does.

There are two different font assets inside the vanilla sharedassets for Chapters 1-9:
10+
- `msgothic_0`, which is used for Japanese
11+
- `msgothic_2`, which is used for English

## Hou Plus Notes
13+
However, chapter 10 only uses one font asset, `msgothic_2`, for both languages.
14+
15+
## Which font files to use when generating assets
16+
17+
We currently keep three fonts in this repository:
18+
- MS-Gothic.ttf: This is used when generating Japanese font assets (`msgothic_0`, except for Hou+).
19+
- Based off MS Gothic
20+
- PTSans+MS-PGothic.ttf, used for our normal English font assets used in the mod (`msgothic_2`).
21+
- This is the 'normal' font used in our mod.
22+
- Based off PTSans, but because even in English mode sometimes we need to display Japanese characters, Japanese characters were filled in using MS Gothic.
23+
- DejaVuSans+MS-PGothic.ttf, used for translations which require special characters like Vietnamese (`msgothic_2`)
24+
- Mainly used for translators (as it supports more languages)
25+
- Based off DejaVuSans which supports even more non-english characters.
26+
- Looks visually different to PTSans

Hou Plus uses a single font file (msgothic_2). You will need to use the 'combined' list which contains both 'OtherLang' and Japanese characters.

### For Chapters 9 (Rei) and 10 (Hou+)

36+
There may be some alternative fonts in the `assets\files-rei` and `assets\files-hou-plus`, if not contact the mod team to see if they can be added.
