## Summary<\/p>\n

This mod fixes and extends the Font Renderer in Legacy versions of Minecraft by essentially backporting a newer version of the `FontRenderer` class (1.5.2 was used as the base in version 1; 1.12.2 is used as the base in version 2).<\/p>\n

## Details<\/p>\n

In particular, the following bugs have been fixed and features have been added:
\n– Fix the text width calculation and shadows when rendering non-ASCII characters
\n– Change Font height to 9 instead of 8
\n– Add support for glyphs\/unicode characters
\n– Add missing formatting and color codes<\/p>\n

## Installation<\/p>\n

\n1. Be sure to back up your `minecraft.jar`!
\n2. Extract the content of the mod zip into the `minecraft.jar` file
\n3. Delete the `META-INF` folder in there
\n4. Overwrite any existing files when doing so!
\n5. ???
\n6. Profit!<\/p>\n

## Issues<\/p>\n
