Improved readability

Written by: abraxas86 - May 19, 2025

While there's nothing wrong with the original font, I found that it is a bit difficult to read, especially with the amount of text in this game.  This font greatly improves readability and would recommend for anybody having a hard time with the original.  A mix of the two would be great - especially if the original font kicked in on descriptive actions - onomatopoeia, qoutes, etc.  But I get that ROM space is limited and having an additional font may take up more room than is available.
