About this Mod
FontSwap lets you drop in any .ttf / .otf font and applies it to the entire game — chat, menus, books, signs, tooltips, everything — live, without restarting. Everything is controlled from a clean in-game menu (default key: K).
✨ Features
- 🔤 Whole-game font swap — import any font file and the whole UI switches to it instantly
- ⭐ Favorites — pin the fonts you use most to the top of the list
- 🔧 Fine control — adjust size, vertical offset, line spacing (works in books & signs too) and weight (faux-bold)
- 🌑 Custom text shadow — turn the drop shadow on/off or recolor it with a hex code
- 🟦 Antialiasing toggle — switch to a crunchy pixel-art look for crisp, retro text
- 🌍 10 languages — EN · 日本語 · 简体中文 · 繁體中文 · 한국어 · DE · FR · ES · RU · PT-BR
- ⚡ Client-side only — works on any server, nothing to install server-side

ℹ️ Notes
- You supply your own font files — please respect the license of any commercial fonts.
- "Weight" thickens the font (normal → bold); it can't make a font thinner than its design. For a light look, import a Light/Thin variant.
