Overview

VS uses the system default font when language is set to English, but the font might not be ideal for displaying English text.
This mod fix that by forcing VS to use 'Arial', which is the font used when VS runs on Windows with the en-US system locale.

After installing this mod, you need to enter a world for the changes to take effect.
(Like all VS mods, this mod cannot affect anything before it's loaded during world loading)

This mod runs on client side, so it's available in MP without server installation.
(Some servers might not allow client side mods.)

Uninstall

This mod modifies defaultFontName entry in clientsettings.json, so simply uninstall this mod will not revert the font change.
To revert it, do one of the following:

• Run .fix-en-font revert command in the game before uninstalling
• Open VintageStoryData/clientsettings.json, find defaultFontName entry, and set "sans-serif"

Other Solutions

This mod is intended as a simple, one-stop solution for the issue described in the Overview section.
If you want more custamization or prefer a different font, use FontSettings by MystiVaid or directly specify a font name in this entry of clientsettings.json:

    "defaultFontName": "sans-serif", // Replace sans-serif with your favorite font name
